The budget also cuts medicare and medicaid by some pretty substantial amounts, among many other government programs.

This is the CR. This allows for more time to work on that budget... which only needs 51 votes because of reconciliation.

Ah, ok. Kind of weird that they would even bother with a CR when they could just move the debt ceiling with the budget proposal? Still, a weight is lifted knowing that it isn't coming to pass right away.
