Shutdown Showdown

A partial government shutdown is now in effect, because the House still needs to vote on a Senate deal. It’s not like they didn’t see this coming.

The Holdup

The Senate deal is waiting for a House vote, which is scheduled for Monday. Don’t hold your breath – it’s not like they’re in a hurry or anything.

The shutdown won’t affect everything, but it’s still a pretty big deal. It’s just another example of Congress’s inability to get its act together.
