Yet again the US citizens are disadvantaged by the pig headedness of your elected members.
The White House blamed the shutdown on the Democrats, calling them "obstructionist losers, not legislators".
The failure to secure a deal means the government has technically run out of money, ensuring the closure of all but essential operations nationwide.
US troops will stay at their posts and mail will get delivered, but almost half of the 2 million civilian workers will be barred from doing their jobs if the shutdown extends into Monday.
After the shutdown began, the White House said it would not negotiate the status of the Dreamers "while Democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands".
The shutdown, which has only happened three times in a meaningful way since 1995, will see hundreds of thousands of "non-essential" federal workers be told to stay home.
