[U.S. House Republicans Plan to Stay Out of Town During Federal Government "Shutdown"] According to a report by Jinse Finance, it was learned on October 4 local time that U.S. House Republicans held a conference call that day. During the meeting, Republican leadership informed members that they plan not to return to Washington during the federal government "shutdown." Currently, the U.S. government is in a "shutdown" due to a budget deadlock, with Democrats and Republicans continuing to blame each other over the appropriations bill. (Jin10)
