The final lines of this article -- "The Office of Management and Budget has a very powerful and influential role in the United States Government, basically making sure the day to day operations run. Without a budget, federal employees could not be paid, federal buildings could not run and federal programs would come to a halt in what is known as a government shutdown. As a result of the OMB working closely with the president and executive branch, government shutdowns can occur when Congress refuses to accept the budget with policies which the majority party in congress does not agree with also known as a divided government" -- seem highly tendentious, particularly as to why shutdowns occur ("As a result of the OMB working closely with the president and executive branch, government shutdowns can occur when Congress refuses to accept the budget with policies . . . ."), not to mention legally wrong (the OMB does not run the government's operations; it complies the president's budget; but congress itself apportions the many). Moreover, they're grammatically incorrect. It honestly reads like it was written by a shameless political operative in the White House.
