Mulvaney: Shutdown ‘Good’ If It ‘Fixes Washington, DC, Permanently’

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told the White House Press Corps that while a government shutdown is “not desirable” it could become a reality come September if the appropriations process is not repaired.

Mulvaney also said a government shutdown could be “good” if it “fixes Washington, D.C. permanently.”

President Trump tweeted out on Tuesday, “either elect more Republican Senators in 2010 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good “shutdown” in September to fix mess!”
