[quote=The-Shoveler]From what I understand we are just giving some Fed workers a paid holiday, as when it does end (most likely in a few weeks time) most will be paid for the time off.
Other than that really if it comes down to it, the Prez can just tell the Treasury to issue more money and congress cannot stop him.
Waste of time.. nothing to see IMO.[/quote]
Treasury can issue more money. But without appropriations, he can’t spend it.
