Continuing resolutions

When your small state discretionary spending is at risk, don't vote, let the continuing resolution defend your current position. Better policy of the choices available.  This is lack of discretionary spending, the ever pressing interest payments Congress is looking at.

A kind of Mexican Stand Off happens. Any Senator that gets an increase triggers 30 other Senators, and the impact via interest payments makes the budget uncertain.  Everyone better off doing nothing.  The doing nothing path narrows, sequestering looms. We have many yards to go on our collective can kick.
