The US government will shut down under the republican insistence that an organization for women's health and gynecological services be un funded and disbanded. We already have 13 laws saying the US government will never fund abortion.. As a result the Republican Congress will blame the Democrats that they stood in the way of approving the budget which is overdue and in danger of allowing the US government to default for not paying its bills and could have its credit rating drop which translates to higher interest rates.
The speaker of the house John Boehner (boner) who never could control the tea party faction has now quit.

the congress is now fucked up as usual but now is garnished with a huge turd on top.
