People really need to have a minimum of 6 months reserve of cash. If necessary cut expenses sharply until that emergency reserve is in place.

This is not true. The last one before the current one was under the last Trump admin, which was also the longest at over a month.

It is true that Congress does not usually pass a budget on time, but most years they squeak out a Continuing Resolution to keep the government open while dealing with that. Often multiple CRs.

Wonder if longer, more frequent furloughs will help federal families qualify for aid, or speed up their exit from private schools entirely.
