Res. 424, legislation that would prevent Congress from adjourning for the remainder of the year unless it passes a budget conference report by December 13th.\n\u201cThe least productive Congress ever should stay in Washington until a budget is agreed to,\u201d Shea-Porter said. \u201cWithout fulfilling this basic function, there is no question that Congress should not go on vacation.\u201d\nThe 113th Congress is on track to have the least productive year in Congressional history. But next Friday, the House of Representatives is scheduled to go home for the holidays until January 7th. Earlier this week, Speaker of the House John Boehner had this outrageous response for reporters asking about progress in the Republican-led Congress:\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve done our work.\u201d\nWithout agreeing to a budget, Congress risks another government shutdown and credit default as early as January 15, 2014. Without authorizing the nation\u2019s Farm Bill, the price of milk could skyrocket to $8.00 per gallon in January.\u00a0 Additionally, unemployment insurance, common sense gun legislation, and jobs bills all remain on the table but unpassed.\nEarlier today, Shea-Porter supported a motion that would have forced Congress to pass a budget conference report before adjourning for the year. In early August, Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives asking Congress to extend its session in order to end sequestration and pass job-creating legislation.
