HuffPost Table Talk: How & Why Does The Government Shut Down?
- April 08, 2011 |
- by The Family Cooks
Every Friday, the Huffington Post editors highlight one of the most compelling news stories of the week — a story to spark a lively discussion at your family dinner table.
This week, in a battle over the federal budget between congressional Republicans (who hold the majority), vs. the Democratic minority and the president, the federal government itself may be headed toward a shutdown, not seen since a similar battle in the mid-nineties. Unless everyone can come to an agreement by Friday at midnight on a controversial Republican budget proposal, the government will run out of budgeted money and all “non-essential” government services will grind to a halt.
Visit The Huffington Post for more on this week’s family dinner conversation starter.
