Trump budget chief predicts shutdown deal within 24 hours

White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney predicted Congress will reach a deal to avoid a government shutdown within the next day.

"I think there's a deal in the next 24 hours,” he said during an interview on CNN.

The government will shut down if Congress does not pass a spending bill before midnight Friday, but Mulvaney said that is not much of a hard deadline because federal offices do not reopen until Monday.

“I look at it more in terms of what gets done before offices are supposed to open on Monday,” he said. “And I think you’re going to see a deal.”

Then again Mulvaney is a bit of a dumbfuck.

So if he makes a deal by, say, 4:00 PM, he won't miss much of it.
