Tyler Kendall

We spent a lot of time talking about everything from SALT to, yes, government funding.

And here we are again, Congressman.

Thank you for joining us on Bloomberg TV and radio.

The conventional wisdom is we shut down after midnight, and I'm assuming you don't see a way around it.

What comes after the shutdown?

You wonder what would happen if Mike Johnson said exactly what you just said, although maybe there's so little trust, it doesn't matter right now, Congressman.

But what should come of these after?

We've been talking about these extensions for some time now.

Everybody's become an expert on this, or so they think.

If this was a COVID-era policy, should it be extended forever, as Democrats suggest?

You just pointed out a year.

Should they come down?

Should there be a gradual phasing out?

What's the long term on this?

What's your view on the Fed, Congressman, as you sit on the Financial Services Committee, to Tyler's point?

If this affects the release of the jobs report, for instance, on Friday, if BLS can't kick out the jobs data, at what point does that become a problem for the Fed to make an accurate decision, say, by the next meeting when it doesn't have a complete picture of the data?

Is this something you're worried about or you think government will be back open in time?
