Risk Of Government Shutdown Grows

In two votes on September 19, the Senate blocked Republican-led and Democratic-led plans to continue to fund the federal government. This increases the odds of a government shutdown on October 1. Republicans are pushing for a continuing resolution to fund the government at current levels, while Democrats are pushing for additional healthcare funding estimated at $1 trillion.
