Three Days and No End in Sight

And so it continues.

We are now at day three of the government shutdown and there is no end in sight.  It appears that the GOP is still not willing to pass a clean continuing resolution to fund the government.  Instead, they are trying to take a piecemeal approach to funding the government -- first by trying to fund national parks and the Department of Veterans Affairs.  But the House cannot even get enough votes to do that.

A piecemeal approach to funding the government does not work.  The government does not work piecemeal....it works as one unit.  One department is not more important than another.

The Shadow urges the Congress to get your act together and end this shutdown.  We are watching you.

Good night and good luck.
