Congress Staring Down Deadlines on Spending, Farm Bill

After cancelling votes following the death of former President George H.W. Bush, Congress likely won't resume legislative business until Dec. 10. Topping the hefty to-do list will be finalizing the seven full-year spending bills that weren't completed before the fiscal year began on Oct. 1. On this week's episode of "Suspending the Rules," Bloomberg Government budget and appropriations reporter Jack Fitzpatrick and deputy news director Loren Duggan provide an update on Bush's funeral arrangements at the Capitol and the fiscal 2019 spending negotiations. Lawmakers are also working to finalize the farm bill, which would set agriculture and food support program policy for the next five years. In the second segment, BGOV agriculture policy reporter Teaganne Finn breaks down what we know about the agreement reached by top negotiators. Hosts: Adam M. Taylor, Sarah Babbage.
