Concerns Over Government Shutdown

A growing concern exists regarding a potential government shutdown scheduled for March 14th, primarily due to the failure to bring forward the 12 individual spending bills necessary for proper funding. This situation is exacerbated by the acknowledgment that both major political parties, Democrats and Republicans, could face backlash from the American public should a shutdown occur. The necessity of engaging in a thorough budget process to avoid a continuing resolution (CR) is emphasized, as a CR would inadvertently endorse existing issues of fraud and waste. There is a call for bipartisan cooperation to address these spending bills promptly to prevent a detrimental impact on government operations and services.
