[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]90% chance of shutdown.  If it occurs 80% chance it lasts 1 week, 20% chance it lasts 2 weeks.  The oracle has spoken. [/quote]

And the lowly feds will get back pay for the time missed during the shutdown. I feel soooo bad for them. [/quote]

Many of us still work during a shutdown.  In fact, there is never really a true shutdown - IIRC only about 1/4 of the government actually shuts down. [/quote]

There are 12 appropriation bills.  It all depends on if any of them get passed.  Last time when 1/4 of the government shut down, there were something like 10 of the bills that passed.  Only the largest one, which included about 1/4 of the DC work force, did not pass and was delayed causing those agencies included in that bill to shut down.[/quote]

Is this a situation where Biden will sign any that get passed or a situation where they have to get it all done to get any of it?[/quote]

The Senate has already passed most (all?) of them.  The House can pass any or all. But the ultra right has said that they will only pass them all at once and with more cuts than had been agreed upon.  So if they do that then the bills will need reconciliation and then Biden will sign them - maybe.  Probably, but might depend on the cuts that the House wants.[/quote]
