Government Shutdown:
The Optimist’s Guide

From Jonathan Bernstein BloombergView:

The federal government will shut down at the end of the month unless Congress can pass a continuing resolution to keep the doors open. And Congress just left for the weekend with things looking bleak indeed.

Unresolved is funding for efforts to fight the Zika virus, to help Flint, Michigan, deal with its drinking-water crisis, and to aid in flood recovery in Louisiana. Congress is also tussling over the Export-Import Bank (again), over campaign-finance disclosures and about Internet domain oversight. If nothing passes by next Friday, the end of the fiscal year, the government will close.

So why am I not worried, at least not yet?
