If you have watched the news or read the newspaper recently, you may be aware that the U.S. federal government’s fiscal year ends on Sept. 30. Congress and President Joe Biden need to turn 12 appropriation bills into law to fund the next fiscal year. But as of Monday at 8 p.m. ET, there are no appropriation bills passed and no continuing resolution to keep the government going.
If these don’t happen happen by midnight Oct. 1, then the federal government will have a shutdown. The military will still be standing post, social security checks will still come to our senior citizens.
