Federal Government Shutdowns are Bad for Indian Country and

Fueled by the demands of hard-right House Republicans, the federal government appears to be heading towards a shutdown at the end of the month, which marks the end of the federal government’s fiscal year. Every year, Congress is supposed to pass 12 different spending bills that fund the government once signed by the president. When there is a lack of progress and the deadline is near, sometimes Congress will pass a temporary extension called a continuing resolution that allows the federal government to keep operating until a specified time.
