 Let me get this straight. This 45-day stopgap bill is going to mean we’ll have another shutdown threat in… mid-November? Right before Thanksgiving and Black Friday?

So there's a chance we'll have a government shutdown right before one of the biggest travel days of the year, so TSA agents and air traffic controllers will be forced to work unpaid. And then millions of government employees will be afraid to spend money on the biggest shopping day of the year. These people are clinically insane.
