The way to view this and previous shutdowns is to blame the party that isn't willing to vote for the CR. That's the party taking the government hostage to achieve their political goals.
- Buttons840 8y agoWhat does "CR" mean?
- battywombat 8y ago"Continuing Resolution". It's a bill to keep funding the government at the rate determined by the last past budget.
- dragontamer 8y agoCR means to pass last year's budget (for only a few months), so that you can get more time to debate without people's paychecks getting lost. Trump + Republicans have veto'd the CR, meaning they want the shutdown to put more pressure for the Wall.
