The US Government shutdown has left many agencies without funds to pay for day-to-day operations (Credit: usa.gov)

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.

        Because the President is the one causing all this because he wants to build a wall between us and Mexico. He won't sign the bill it the funds do not go towards the wall

        I don't think it's fair that all the people who aren't involved basically lose their jobs but all the people responsible still get paid.
