government shutdown

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Defense Department says it has temporarily suspended all sports competitions at the service academies as a result of the partial government shutdown.

As of 12:01 Tuesday, October 1, many government agencies were forced to close their doors, and thousands of non-essential personnel were notified and told not to come to work.

UPDATE - 4:30 p.m. Monday, September 30 As of Monday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. Montana Congressman Steve Daines was preparing to head back to the House floor to cast yet another vote that might result in a government shutdown.

Montana Governor, Brian Schweitzer, is showing concerns that Montana's budget battle could lead to a possible state  government shutdown. The Governor expressed his concerns in a letter to Attorney General Steve Bullock. The date the Governor says the shutdown would begin is July 1st and after reading the Governor's letter, it appears he is as uncertain about what a state government shutdown means

If the Government partially shuts down how will it affect the country or even you? It could effect more than 2 million employees. Inside is a complete rundown of what will and won't be affected. Looks like some will get to enjoy a "vacation" of sorts.
