government shutdown - theresa dvorocsik

Thousands of federal employees will be placed on furlough -- meaning they won't report to work Monday. Whoever works for agencies and departments that are considered nonessential, including agencies that pay out small business loans, will cease to work effective immediately until Congress is able to agree on a bill for the federal budget. The employees in these departments would be placed on "furlough." In previous shutdowns, everyone who stayed home was paid retroactively after an agreement was reached in Washington.

The United States government has shut down because they cannot make a decision as a group and come do a decision. These events more than just congress. Postal companies and many major operations will be shut down.
