--:-- Dale Willman: Unless Congress takes quick action, much of the federal government will shut down Tuesday night when it runs out of money. That's when the budget year ends, and so far, Congress has not been able to reach a deal on a stopgap spending measure.
--:-- Ron Johnson: Being in such a position is no longer uncommon in Washington, but I'm suggesting an easy fix. What I'm suggesting is passing a bill, the Eliminate Shutdowns Act, that gets rid of this for all time. Ends the turmoil. It's incredibly simple.
--:-- Dale Willman: All you have to do is just pass this bill, and then you'll establish 14-day rolling, continuing appropriations if you haven't appropriated for these particular departments.
--:-- Ron Johnson: Johnson, meanwhile, says the current situation as it stands is dysfunctional.

--:-- Jan Egeland: After one side meeting about the record number of people fleeing conflicts around the world, I told NPR that eight organizations are still hurting from U budget cuts. It has consequences to the smallest refugee camp. I've seen water towers not being filled anymore with drinking water to refugee camps because the one group that was responsible for that lost all U.S. funding overnight.
--:-- Michelle Kellerman: He says other countries have followed the U.S. lead, cutting aid and closing borders, a double blow for the world's refugees.
