Talk:Continuing resolution

Delete list of CRs
Is there any reason to have this list ? It's long and yet missing entire years and some CRs during the years mentioned. I'm inclined to just point to Thomas.loc.gov list or some external cite that describes them bu do not see why the list inside WP provides value. Should I just delete it ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markbassett (talk • contribs) 04:24, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Funding provided by CRs
For 2015 and 2016, the write-ups for the continuing resolutions indicate how much funding the bills provided. However, the amounts indicated are misleading. The amounts shown reflect annualized totals for the bills, but the continuing resolutions don't cover the full year. So if a continuing resolution covers 70 days, it only makes available 19.2% (70/365) of the annualized level it is based upon. And whatever full-year appropriation amount is eventually provided, any amount provided under the continuing resolution counts against that. So if a continuing resolution were passed covering a quarter of the year based on an annualized level of $1.0 trillion (so making $250 billion available), but the eventual full-year appropriation was for $1.1 trillion, the total for the year would be $1.1 trillion, regardless of the fact that the spending rate was different during the course of the continuing resolution. —Salton Finneger (talk) 18:53, 30 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and changed it to indicate the amounts reflected annualized totals, rather than the amount actually made available during the duration of the CR. —Salton Finneger (talk) 19:50, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

"more urgent legislative matters"
What are more urgent legislative matters, than appropriations? I suggest saying "other urgent legislative matters" but other than declaring war (Pearl Harbor), I cannot think of even one more urgent than funding the federal budget.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 13:38, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
