In case you missed it in the avalanche of news last week, Congress actually did its job and passed a continuing resolution on September 25 to keep the Federal government open through mid-December. As this White House statement notes, this measure gives Congress additional time to hopefully pass full-year funding bills by the end of the year.

I was busy dusting off my government shutdown blogs early last week, in anticipation that no bipartisan solution could possibly be reached prior to the end of the government’s fiscal year. I was pleasantly surprised to see our lawmakers in action, kicking the can down the road for two and a half months. I can only imagine what sort of dystopian political nightmare we will be struggling though in mid-December, given all of the post-election uncertainty that hangs in the air. It is certainly possible that I might be dusting off those government shutdown blogs again before this year is out!
