We’re almost six months into the federal fiscal year and Congress is still unable to pass appropriations bills. On March 11 the continuing resolution funding Social Security and other agencies runs out. It’s not clear that Congress can meet this deadline. There won’t be a government shutdown but we may end up with yet another continuing resolution giving Congress yet more time. The problem is Republic stonewalling combined with the unwillingness of two Democratic senators to end the filibuster.
The problem is no term limits. Maybe if we didn't have career politicians they would actually work "for the their constituents" and not be worried about winning elections and paying back the big money that bought their seat.
