Government shutdown 2018

It is the only time there’s been a shutdown when the same party controls both houses of Congress and the White House. Ever.

And the same argument Chico makes about immigration can be made about the last shutdown initiated by the GOP over the ACA.

The reality is that congress should be working on long term spending instead of stopgaps, which has been a problem for years. But kicking the can down the road has become far too politically expedient. And the only folks who purport to benefit from that are the elected officials anxious to keep their jobs.

And that’s a bipartisan criticism.
