Shortest Government Shutdown Ever Ends With House Vote
« on: February 09, 2018, 01:55:55 pm »
WASHINGTON —In the long history of government shutdowns, this one was a record: the shortest ever.

The lapse in federal funding lasted less than 6 hours—with the government officially unfunded from 12:01 a.m. on Friday to about 5:30 a.m. when lawmakers scrambled to pass a six-week spending bill.

Six more weeks of spending?  I guess the Congress saw its shadow.

Re-order those words and you'll get even closer...  Six weeks of more spending.
