Wolfe weighs in on ’likely’ U.S. government shutdown after January 30
A U.S. government shutdown is becoming increasingly likely after Jan. 30 as Senate opposition and severe weather complicate efforts to pass a six-bill funding package, according to Wolfe Research.
The bills, merged into a “minibus,” cover six of 12 appropriations subcommittees and more than 75% of discretionary spending.
Wolfe Research analyst Tobin Marcus told clients in a note that although this would be a “partial” shutdown, “its fiscal impact on a per-day basis won’t be much less than the total shutdown last fall.”
