US shutdown may now come to an end

After weeks of getting nowhere it seems there is a possibility of a deal in US Congress to end the government shutdown which has been such a disaster for millions of people. So much is going on in the world that the fact that the US has been relatively ungovernable for nearly two months has kind of gone by the wayside. But with 40 airports effectively closed because of the lack of air traffic controllers, the crisis had to be brought to a end. It took a group of Democrats to swap sides to find a formula to reopen government. it is still not finalised but judging by remarks from Congress it looks like the deal could be approved by the end of the week. As part of the compromise the Trump administration has agreed to restore the jobs of those who were all summarily sent home. In the end common sense seems to rise to the fore. Perhaps that is what all governments need to take on board. Common practical sense is what makes governing run more smoothly. Instead, there are always too many politicians on the extremes who want more and more, never mind the hardships facing their country. BUY AGENT REDRUTH, MY NEW SPY THRILLER. YOU WILL LOVE IT.
