Government shutdown

Currently the United States government is shutdown.  It has been shutdown now for 4 days, and it doesn't really seem like it going to stop anytime soon.  The reason for the shutdown, is because of Congresses inability to come to an agreement, and pass a federal budget for the now current physical year.  Thus far the shutdown seems to having a seemingly somewhat small impact on the U.S.  Although 100's of thousands of Government civilian employees have been furloughed, and things like the commissary, and exchange have been shutdown for military and there families, the average American hasn't seen a huge impact yet.  It remains to see how long this will go on, and how big of an impact it will have on the U.S.
Till next time good readers!
