Day 9

So it’s Day 9 of the shutdown because Republicans in Congress aren’t willing to pass a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government and we are careening towards a potential default in less than 10 days. And now, instead of manning up to vote for an unconditional CR, the Republicans are passing piecemeal bills to address each crisis as they get media spotlighted. This isn’t responsible budgeting, this is impulse buying and it does little to resolve the major budget issue and next to no positive PR for the Republican Party.
