Hi RandFan - I hope you are well. I have never gamed out in my mind (or on paper) what happens during the shutdown that occurs periodically. If there is nothing done, can’t Congress move to the next budget year and pass appropriation bills for post October 1? If that is done, then the shutdown is a blessing in disguise as it prevents spending at exorbitant Biden levels. Then, in effect, the “new” post October 1 government can be funded and operated. Correct? If that is true, why the pressure to pass a CR? Couldn’t mop up appropriation bills take care of what is necessary? It would almost be similar to a business taking a Chapter 11 in bankruptcy. Prior debt moved aside, and start anew.
Just musing this morning as I plot how I can best prolong the shutdown.

They’ve been doing it this way for over 10 years (constant resolutions rather than budgets)
I dont know what happens next there will be some deal is my prediction as always
