Deep dives
Government shutdown averted with clean continuing resolution
The recent potential government shutdown was avoided when Kevin McCarthy proposed a clean continuing resolution that excluded funding for the Ukraine war. The Democrats did not want to engage in a public debate over Ukraine funding, as the sentiment against American funding of the war is growing. However, a better deal that included an 8% cut in discretionary spending and border security measures was scuttled by a wing of the Republican Party. Eventually, the House and Senate passed the resolution, and President Biden signed it just three hours before the shutdown was set to take effect.
