    File this under “the somewhat hidden costs of brinkmanship” along with the debt ceiling b.s. from a few months back.

    OMB and a basically every agency they cover will spend tons of time (and thus money) doing prep work for an event that should never even be a real threat, were Congress able to govern even somewhat effectively. All that prep work happens instead of real mission work, not in addition. Just another waste that we can thank the GOP for.
