In reply to the discussion: Trump's shutdown push falls flat with Republicans [View all]h2ebits
(775 posts)24. This is a really bad plan also. . . .
A three month stop gap plan will mean that the government will shut down January 1st. Am I correct in my thinking? That means that the transfer of power will not occur prior to the shutdown.
What then? The House will still be in the control of the Republicans since new members will not have been sworn in. . . .
Is this the new plan to overthrow the government?
Edited to add: Also, if I am thinking correctly, the federal government uses a fiscal year for accounting that runs from October 1 through September 30 the following year.
What an absolute nightmare for our country!
