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.

- how come6년 이상i think the worst the about this is that everyone relys on something so simple that cant help you with anything you cant use this artical for anything. but if you actually read it it gives you very interesting facts, like you cant shut down the whole goverment system to just build a wall for money, you literaly cant do that. the democrats will pay if they want to NOT by force.
