    US faces a shutdown

    The federal government will experience a partial shutdown at midnight unless lawmakers and President Trump can come to a last-minute deal on spending and immigration.

    5 hours or so to do it.

    Pity we can't shut down the government and lawmakers in this country, we'd all be better off.

    It’s a shutdown

    The last US shutdown happened in 2013 and lasted for 16 days, during which many federal employees took a forced leave of absence.

    Many government offices will close as federal law requires agencies to shut down if Congress has not allocated money to fund them.
    National parks and monuments are also likely to face closure.
    But essential services will still run. These include national security, postal services, air traffic control, inpatient medical services, emergency outpatient medicine, disaster assistance, prisons, taxation and electricity generation.

    We can hardly be critical after the goings on in Northern Ireland.

    But the GOP have got a majority in both houses...and this still happens.
