It's a Continuing Resolution World

Just in case you missed it, I wanted to draw your attention to this tidbit, courtesy of our friends at CongressDaily, about Congress' contingency planning for its ongoing failure to pass any appropriations bills -- more than a month into the fiscal year:

If Congress cannot get its work done in time for Christmas, as a fallback, federal agencies have already been instructed to plan as if Congress will eventually pass a CR running through Feb. 15, sources said.

Looks like we can count on budget uncertainty running well into the new year. Again.
