For the Record: US Rep Bryan Steil talks government shutdown

Published | Video Starts at 06:41

You end all government shutdowns for all of time. This brinksmanship is unhelpful to anyone. I call it the Wisconsin idea. It simply takes what we do in the state of Wisconsin. At the end of a budget year in Wisconsin, if the governor and state assembly and state senate don't agree, we continue to fund state government at the current rates with no policy changes. It's why state government doesn't shut down in the state of Wisconsin, even though sometimes there's partisan politics at play. (06:41–06:51)

CLAIM

Asserts that Wisconsin continues funding at current rates without policy changes if budget agreements aren't reached.
