GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

Closure of all non-essential government offices due to lack of approval on the government programs budget for the fiscal year. Approval is reached once the Congress and the Senate pass all of the spending bills on the federal budget. However, this will shut down many federally run operations, and stop work for federal employees unless deemed essential is no agreement is achieved. Some organizations operate on cash reserves, but once these run out, it will also close if no solution is found. This will take effect until reaching a compromise and passing a budget bill.
