I hope Bachmann doesn’t mean that they will pass continuing resolutions, to keep everything going until they agree on a budget. Because that could continue for the next two years.
How about we only shut down PARTS of the government?
The Department of Education. The Department of Agriculture. The EPA. PBS subsidies. I’m sure we can think of a few more.
There aint enough bandwidth.
The budget is passed piecemeal — there is not exact correspondence between Department and bill but it’s close...there are some anomalies, such as NEA being in Interior....
