First Impressions: Thinking Aloud About FilmCinema Rediscovered 2024 Wrap-Uphttps://notesonfilm1.com/2024/07/31/cinema-rediscovered-2024-wrap-up/

For months, politicians have been in a stalemate triggered by Republican demands for spending cuts as the price for paying America's debts.

Recent sticking points are tied to potential spending caps, the GOP's insistence on slashing domestic spending for several years and the Biden administration's desire for more l...
