An indefinite US government shutdown
The US government is closed for business, again. This is the third time in a year that the federal government has been partially shut down. The shutdown began at midnight Saturday when lawmakers couldnt agree on a spending bill; a spending bill which included five billion dollars for President Trumps border wall.
The shutdown follows days of negotiations and a bizarre episode in the Oval Office between President Trump and senior Democratic lawmakers… So now, a quarter of the US government has no funding. That includes nine cabinet-level departments and dozens of agencies, including homeland security, transportation, interior, agriculture, state and justice. Hundreds of thousands of government employees will either be furloughed or forced to work without pay until the situation is resolved.
And this comes just as the holiday season kicks off across the world. The US government is closed for business, again. This is the third time in a year that the federal government has been partially shut down. The shutdown follows days of negotiations and a bizarre episode in the Oval Office between President Trump and senior Democratic lawmakers.
