This article describes how this government shutdown, which is the longest in history, is over. Trump signed a spending bill that did not include the money he wanted in funding for the wall. However, this bill is only good for three weeks and he's hoping to come up with a plan for how to pay for the wall. Also, the estimated 800,000 federal employees who haven't been working. The economy is expected to have lost at least $6 billion during this shutdown.
This shutdown had a big impact on the country. It's causing lawmakers to take a closer look at the laws that made this possible in the first place. However, until Congress and the White House can agree on a plan, this could happen again soon. This reminds me of the problems with Bill Clinton's government shutdown, which lasted 21 days.
