The government shutdown continues Wednesday, making it the second longest at 22 days, trailing the 35-day shutdown in 2017 during President Donald Trump's first term in office. And there's no end in sight: Democrats and Republicans in Congress remain locked in a bitter stalemate.
The shutdown has placed 750,000 federal workers on furlough, forced air traffic controllers and other essential workers to work without pay and closed national parks, federal offices and museums. Still, much of the government’s economic machinery keeps running.
But some forecasters warn, the current shutdown could do more economic damage than some previous instances!
