Due to the shutdown, around 800,000 federal workers have not been receiving their paychecks. Among these are some 6,000 Secret Service employees. This shutdown, which is now nearing a month, is the longest in the history of the US government. The primary reason for it is a deadlock between the Democrats and Republicans over President Donald Trump’s proposal to include 5.7 million dollars in the government’s spending budget to build a border wall.
Notably, in the eight years that President Bush was in power, he did not face a single government shutdown.
