Even though the federal government is at a virtual stand-still over the Senate’s failure to pass a continuing resolution to keep funding operations, Congressman Dusty Johnson says there’s other work going on behind the scenes such as his bill to eliminate government shutdowns forever.
“Most countries if the politicians don’t get an agreement by a certain deadline, the funding just continues at the same level it was in the past,” said Johnson. “We’re one of only a couple of developed countries in the world that take the whole economy of their nation hostage when the politicians miss a homework assignment. And so, I’m pushing that bill pretty hard.”
Johnson’s declining to accept his Congressional pay-check until the shutdown ends.
