Shutdown Showdown: Tuesday Night
Our government runs out of money at midnight Tuesday, meaning it shuts down. And what is Congress doing about it? Staying home until Monday, October 6.
What we learned in civics class was pure fantasy—the noble concept “of the people, by the people, for the people”–unless by “people” you just mean elected officials. Creating a national budget is one of the top responsibilities of Congress, and yet they fail virtually every year, playing the blame game of finger-pointing. Meanwhile, we suffer.
WineAmerica had planned to host a Congressional Wine Reception to celebrate the great Come Over October celebration on the 8th, but that is now off.
We will let you know when the lights come back on.
