Our Take
Good Morning and welcome to 2019. When we last left you the nation was involved in a significant cliff hanger, wondering whether the President and Congress would resolve how to fund the portion of the Federal government that was set to shut down on December 21st. Unfortunately, that drama has continued into the new year with no end in immediate sight.
Under the shadow of the shut down, the most recent iteration of divided government commenced with the swearing-in of the new Congress this past week. Things will be slow for the next few weeks as committees organize and initiate the rudimentary tasks necessary to govern. But once the pro forma rust comes off, we fully anticipate a robust committee schedule — especially in the House. When that happens, we will be sure to cover it all for you here, in your weekly edition of Thorn Run Partners' Financial Services report.
