And the budget deal only gave a 6 week CR - contining resolution - on current appropriations. With CRs, agencies get appropraitions at the current spending levels for the duration of that CR. This is what Congress does when they don’t agree on a budget/appropriations for the FY but don’t want to shut down the government. So under the current deal, appropriations will end after six weeks and the government will shut down again if Congress doesn’t either pass another CR or pass the remaining FY18 appropriations by the deadline. But given the budget deal, it should be easy for Congress to pass the FY18 appropriations and a shutdown is highly unlikely.
