Government Shutdown Continues

The government shutdown in Washington shows little hope for a resolution. Policy Solutions President Jay Truitt says lawmakers are waiting for key events before taking further action. “Democrats are waiting to take any steps until after the No Kings protest on October 18th; I think that does give us some timeframe after that. I don’t think this thing drags on much more.” Until lawmakers find common ground, several critical priorities remain stalled, including the ag package.”We’re just at a standoff. While we may see the administration try to do something creative, honestly, that really almost never works out the way we think it’s going to.”
