Government shutdown looming once again

Just weeks after political infighting nearly shut down the government, Congress is duking it out again over a spending bill and their battle is threatening yet again to close the government by month’s end.

In a scene repeated several times over the past year, most recently in August, Democrats and Republicans took to the microphones on Capitol Hill Tuesday to accuse each other of playing politics with a budget for the next fiscal year that starts Oct. 1. Without it, the government would run out of money on Sept. 30.
