Honestly is this worse than the government working right now? :ladyhaha:

Can they shut down Trump's twitter account while they're at it?

The ****ed up part is that Congress STILL gets paid even if they shut down the government. America is truly a joke.

Also can we admire how GENIUS our founding fathers were. The fact that states are capable of functioning without the federal government is brilliant.

A shutdown, however, doesn't mean every federally funded agency, program and service will grind to a halt. Whoever works for agencies and departments that are considered nonessential, including agencies that pay out small business loans and process passport requests, will cease to work 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.

At the peak of the 2013 government shutdown, about 850,000 employees were furloughed per day, according to the Office of Management and Budget.

Who's affected by the government shutdown?

700,000 undocumented immigrants who are part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program will be affected, as there's currently no fix in place ahead of the March 5 deadline

9 million children who are under the Children's Health Insurance Program -- whose parents usually earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford private health coverage -- will have less certainty about the future of their health care

About 1.3 million active-duty military will be expected to work potentially without pay. The military is currently paid through February 1.

In the 2013 government shutdown, about 850,000government employees were furloughed each day -- and there could be a similar number this time around

1.87 million civilian government workers could be exemptfrom furlough -- including the workers at the Transportation Security Administration and food safety inspectors, border patrol officers and federal prison guards

Up to 417 national park sites could be closed, though the Trump administration is going to "try to allow limited access wherever possible," Interior Department spokeswoman Heather Swift told CNN

19 Smithsonian museums could be closed

CORRECTION: This story has been corrected to include the District of Columbia's more recent protocol for services during a government shutdown, which includes trash pickup.
