But Is That A Good Thing Government Shutdown Averted?

Recurrent government shutdowns and a glaring lack of fiscal responsibility plague Washington once more. Despite a history of shutdowns, current “stopgap” measures, like the 45-day operation extension, merely postpone inevitable financial consequences, fostering an environment of continual crisis. The continual use of “Continuing Resolutions” since 2008 has exponentially compounded spending, exploding national debt while revenues stagger behind. While officials might claim transient victories in short-term solutions, the chronic avoidance to make firm, often unpopular, governing decisions merely defers and amplifies future economic fallout.
