In the fall of 2013, the federal government was shuttered for 16 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;While not a mirror image of two years ago,&#8221; House Appropriations Defense subcommittee Ranking Member Pete Visclosky, D-Ind., warned Tuesday, &#8220;the FY-2016 process is careening towards a similar fate.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Central to what could be a major fight and another shutdown in late September is a proposed $88 billion overseas contingency operations (OCO) account. GOP leaders in both chambers inflated the administration&#8217;s $50.9 billion war-fund request to appease Republican defense hawks who say the military is short on funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the White House and congressional Democrats object, saying the move is a budget &#8220;gimmick.&#8221; They also want more domestic spending in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4500\" height=\"3006\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635839649032945704-112415-frontlines-04jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635839649032945704-112415-frontlines-04jpg.jpg 4500w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635839649032945704-112415-frontlines-04jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635839649032945704-112415-frontlines-04jpg.jpg?resize=768,513 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635839649032945704-112415-frontlines-04jpg.jpg?resize=1024,684 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635839649032945704-112415-frontlines-04jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1026 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635839649032945704-112415-frontlines-04jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1368 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4500px) 100vw, 4500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Army honor guards wait for the arrival of French President Fran\u00e7ois Holland at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., Tuesday Nov. 24, 2015.

Obama has said he would veto any legislation that adheres to the cap, a White House tactic to get congressional Republicans and Democrats to begin discussing another bill to relieve the 2011 law&#8217;s defense and domestic spending caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If the president is true to his veto threat,&#8221; Visclosky said, &#8220;then we are playing a serious game of brinksmanship with DoD and the rest of the federal government.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff;\">Email: <\/span><a href=\"mailto:jbennett@defensenews.com\" style=\"color: #1990e5;\">jbennett@defensenews.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff;\">Twitter: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BennettJohnT\" style=\"color: #1990e5;\">@bennettjohnt<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third-ranking House Appropriations Committee Democrat says Congress and the White House are &#8220;careening&#8221; toward another government shutdown, adding a GOP-proposed defense spending plan is partly to blame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":8,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[8,33,19],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1090],"class_list":["post-32419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-congress","category-home","category-pentagon"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"XAAFHUKIYRFZJEWENSGSVNQPDY","arc_canonical_url":"\/congress\/2015\/06\/02\/visclosky-d-c-careening-toward-shutdown\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Visclosky: D.C. &#039;Careening&#039; Toward Shutdown - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The third-ranking House Appropriations Committee Democrat says Congress and the White House are &quot;careening&quot; toward another government shutdown, adding a GOP-proposed defense spending plan is partly to blame.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2015\/06\/02\/visclosky-d-c-careening-toward-shutdown\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Visclosky: D.C. &#039;Careening&#039; Toward Shutdown\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The third-ranking House Appropriations Committee Democrat says Congress and the White House are &quot;careening&quot; toward another government shutdown, adding a GOP-proposed defense spending plan is partly to blame.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2015\/06\/02\/visclosky-d-c-careening-toward-shutdown\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-06-02T18:31:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T22:38:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"John T.
