Congress has less than two weeks to extend a federal funding deadline, but lawmakers are arguing over whether the White House will really spend the money they approve.

US Congress remains deadlocked over a government funding deal with the March 14 deadline approaching. While some lawmakers push for a stopgap measure to extend funding through September, concerns remain over military spending and program shortfalls.

Federal funding dries up at the end of the day on March 14. Lawmakers acknowledge that passing full appropriations bills are unlikely given the time crunch, and they are preparing a funding extension known as a continuing resolution, referred to in Washington as a CR, in the hopes of buying more time.
