The Daily Quote

“Congress gets back to work Tuesday in what may be a mad scramble to avoid several fiscal crises.  Unless a stopgap funding measure is passed by month's end, a government shutdown looms. Unless the debt ceiling is raised or suspended within the same time frame, the government risks a default. And unless lawmakers pick up their usually sluggish pace, victims of Hurricane Harvey could be denied relief aid they need soon.  It all adds up to an unpredictable and likely chaotic fall legislative session that will test the ability of GOP leaders to steer clear of fiscal catastrophe and prove they can govern.”
