ARE YOU PROPERLY PREPARED FOR A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN?

One federal spending bill has been canceled, and the revised version has also been rejected. This could lead to a standoff that many did not want. The threat of a shutdown stems from disagreements over a spending bill aimed at extending funding until March 17. House Speaker Mike Johnson abandoned the bill after objections from Republican members, including former President Donald Trump, who opposed the additional billions included in it.

WHAT DOES A SHUTDOWN MEAN FOR YOU?

Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla, had nearly invested $300 million to support Trump and other Republican candidates during the November elections, and he has criticized the spending bill as terrible following its cancellation. Musk celebrated on X, stating that the voice of the people had won. Texas should prepare for the possibility of a government shutdown, as essential services may be disrupted. We’ve seen similar situations arise in the past, where disagreements have threatened a shutdown. Hopefully, a resolution will be reached before the deadline.
