WASHINGTON — A top House Democrat on Monday indicated that if the federal government shuts down Tuesday, it could be some time before disagreements between Republicans and Democrats are resolved and the government opens back up.
“The scary thing about the period we’re in right now is there is no clear end point to a shutdown,” said House Budget Committee ranking member Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor.
“Once you go down this road, it’s not clear how it comes to an end,” Van Hollen told reporters. He added, “So let’s not head down this road.”
