Once upon a time, Congress managed to work well enough together to make sure budgets were passed and the government didn’t have to shut down. Even when Congress failed to pass a budget on time, it didn’t shut down agencies. Why? Because it was assumed the two sides of the political equation could come to an agreement in fairly short order. That changed in 1980 and since then we’ve seen a number of shut-downs, all because politicians couldn’t or wouldn’t negotiate in good faith. So pardon me if I refuse to fall into line with the Democrats and certain Republicans who are having hissy fits over the fact Elon Musk had thoughts about the legislation that would have kept our government running until a budget could be passed. Forgive me if I laugh at the likes of Hillary Clinton who try to fan the fires of outrage and fear by saying that Musk is now running the country. That statement is not only false but also laughable. Who knew Shrillary had a sense of humor?
