If you have been paying any attention to the news, you probably know that the US Government has been partially shut since midnight December 21, 2018. More specifically, work at nine departments, as well as some agencies making up roughly 25 percent of the federal government, has either ground to a halt or is being conducted at a slower pace because the budget to fund their day-to-day operations has not been approved by Congress. As a result, a fraction of the 800,000 employees, who are considered “non-essential,” have been furloughed, or forced to take a leave of absence. The remaining “essential” employees are expected to report for duty as usual, but will not get paid until a budget has been approved.

- Trouble 7년 이하This is soon going to get ugly. It said that this was the second longest shutdown in 40 YEARS. Democrats can pay if they want, but Mr. Trump, can't force them to do it. We're talking about our country's MONEY. 5 billion dollars is a lot. This needs to end soon.
- baconpanda7년 이하5 billion is not a lot of money for a government with a 4.407 trillion dollar budget.
beachbreeze167년 이하But it costs much more than 5 billion dollars just to feed and give insurance to all the illegal immigrants each year (around 17 billion i think). So 5 billion dollars really isn`t that bad in the long run
