Is the U.S. government shutdown still going on...

except they aren't included in the shutdown

Government shutdown includes everything funded by the government, not just white house workers.

Thx

What's this shutdown thing? I'm out of the loop, what's going on

Federal workers forced to work during the shutdown will be payed afterwards when the shutdown ends

>Trump: Wall
>Dems: No wall
>Trump: Wall or else
>Dems: Nope
>Trump: Shutdown until wall
>???

every year the president signs the bill to borrow money for budget
republicans like to use it as an excuse to pressure congress to pass bills

Cheeto Mussolini wants to build a wall, but he could not get the Congress to approve his bills. So Orange Hitler shutdown the country.

no budget renewal the government cannot function, technically

Every year the federal budget must be passed to approve funding for all of the different entities in the government. The budget is first passed by the house, then senate, then approved by the president. Trump wants $5 billion for his wall and the democrats don't want it. The House keeps passing budgets with no funding for Trump's wall so he keeps vetoing the budget and sending it back to the house. Since there is no budget, that means that all unnecessary government functions are being unpaid. The workers must still come to work unpaid though or they will be fired afterwards. They get their paychecks once the shutdown is resolved. But we're coming close to a month without pay and government workers are really starting to feel it.

10/10 explanation

Thanks, does this thing happen often?

it is a relative new thing since carter and has happened 8 times or so the last in 2013

You guys are like babies. We haven't even had a government for 130 days.

contractors won't though

It's been quite often recently because neither side wants to compromise. Republicans have a strategy where they all vote the same no matter what and it makes the whole system come to a grinding halt. Usually one side will budge and a bill will pass within the first week. The Senate and House have compromised multiple times during this shutdown but Trump has made it clear that he's willing to let the shutdown last months if he can't secure funding for the wall. This is the longest shutdown we've ever had.

it doesn't work like that
european budget are automatic

They can quit if they want (except Coast Guard).

they aren't working for no pay. Once the government re-opens, they will get paid for the time that they worked

now, if the government remains shut down for months and months and months, then that is a problem

the shutdown mainly is entry level workers
> janitors
> handymen
> TSA guys
> forest workers

>only a month
pussies, I recently just went through five months

hope you remain shut down and die from hunger or from getting shot in the riots

ok real talk, how will anyone vote for DRUMB in 2020 with 2 shut downs already? and how will a wall help you when you're 56% already?

every year, like clockworks , have you been living in another dimension (yes cos you're a shapeshifting reptilian)

>US courts are going to run out of money tomorrow because a literal meme preside t refuses to compromise on a fucking wall
Who are we going to bully when burgerland falls Jow Forums?
