At a Monitor sponsored breakfast for reporters on Tuesday, Ms. Kremer said a shutdown is not the right path. “I don’t think it is a good thing to shut down our government. But I do think they need to do what they said they were going to do. They [Republican members of Congress] said they were going to cut $100 billion” in federal spending, she said. The $100 billion reduction target was for the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30.
Later in her comments, Kremer added another cautionary note about a shutdown saying, “But shutting down our government, defaulting on our debt interest rates will go up, that sort of thing. I don’t think that is the right thing to do.”
