Hardline Conservatives Push for Government Shutdown

“Fresh off grinding the House floor to a halt last week, hardline House conservatives are already gunning for a new fight: Forcing a government shutdown this fall if they don’t get desired spending cuts,” Punchbowl News reports.

Said Rep. Bob Good (R-VA): “We shouldn’t fear a government shutdown. If we shut it down in order to try to bring fiscal stability and fiscal solvency, that will save the country from an economic and fiscal standpoint for our kids and grandkids.”
