A balanced budget is key to long-term stability. Relying on external debt buyers only delays the inevitable financial reckoning.

The US government shutdown is now expected to last through November 18th. This has moved up from the December 1st expectations seen at the beginning of this week. However, multiple attempts to reopen the government have failed. We believe November 18th is optimistic.
