Possible Government Shutdown

By the end of the week of the creation of this post, there is chance that the U.S. government will close its doors due to insufficient funds. The battle for the wall that president Donald Trump wants to build on the U.S./Mexican border and his issues over the current healthcare system that is in place have been the biggest issues threatening the government shutdown.

This will not be the only time that the U.S. has had a government shutdown. The latest government shutdown that took place was in 2013 during the period of October 1st to the 16th. The shutdown was due to not getting the government spending in on time and not coming up with a resolution for the problem. About 800,000 federal employee’s were laid off without pay. If the government shuts down, multiple government funded services will close at midnight on Friday if the government does not pull together the proper funding needed to stay fully open.
