Congress Plans to Address Sustainable Growth, Right after Planning for Future Surprises and Discussing how Nostalgia Isn’t What it Used to Be Jack Gasper Follow Jan 23, 2018 · 2 min read

WASHINGTON, DC — After a three day government shutdown caused in part by partisan disagreements surrounding DACA reforms, the government has officially resumed activity.

The senate will meet today for the first time since the government has re-opened. The meeting’s itinerary includes several items of high importance, including discussions on how to maintain sustainable growth in the economy and strategizing on how to best prepare for future surprises.

In addition, after a brief lunch consisting of jumbo shrimp and vegetarian meatballs, Senator Tom Cotton will also speak for half an hour on the crumbling state of national nostalgia and how it simply isn’t what it used to be.

“There’s been a systematic attack on our history and a re-writing of the past,” says Cotton, “History has always been written by the winners and we now have an epidemic of losers imposing alternative facts into our national narrative. It’s time to reclaim the past.”

With all eyes on the congress after the shutdown, there’s sure to be a lot of energy and desire to move forward and pass legislation in the upcoming weeks.

Whether or not both parties can begin to work across the aisle and make compromises that benefit the American people is yet to be seen, although, hopes are high given next week’s bi-partisan committee meeting on the topic of corporate ethics, which will require significant votes from both parties for passage.
