The U.S. government faces a shutdown on December 21 unless a funding resolution is passed. House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing a 1,500-page bill to extend government funding until March 14. However, the bill has faced significant backlash. President-elect Donald Trump criticized it for not addressing critical issues like excessive spending and fiscal reform. Hardline Republicans also oppose the bill, calling for deeper spending cuts. Billionaire Elon Musk labeled it “an insane crime against the American people,” accusing lawmakers of prioritizing politics over governance. While the resolution aims to keep the government running temporarily, it has sparked fierce debate, with lawmakers under pressure to find a longer-term solution to avoid a shutdown.
