They passed a clean budget resolution to keep the government open without increasing spending. There were no new policy issues. There were no so-called poison pills to cost Democratic votes. There was no clever maneuvering. It was a simple, clean resolution – specifically designed to avoid drama and fund the federal government while the Congress and the President negotiate next year’s funding.
