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.

wolfdog7년 이하Why does the government have to be shut down? Thought the USA had a billion dollars.- beachbreeze167년 이하It does, but because we are a democratic nation both the Republicans and the Democrats have to agree. So it is kind of more about a majority agreement then it is about money i think.
