The Federal Government is shutting down. Sounds crazy doesn't it? Since the government is still operating without a long-term spending bill and lawmakers have not been able to make a deal, the government has decided to shut down. Lawmakers have managed to make 6 short-term bills, but the Republicans and Democrats are still billions of dollars apart on spending cuts.
What does this mean for Americans? The economy could suffer even more. The only services provided by the government would be services from the FBI, Firefighters, etc. Workers will not be payed, businesses might not be opened, social security might be delayed, all spending by the government will be minimized. By Friday, hopefully a short-term bill can be passed that will cover the spending, but if not...we will all say whaaat??? How would this shutdown affect you?
