Indicating the federal government shutdown of 2018.

Most recent news this week is the shutdown of the federal government on Jan. 20, 2018. One year after President Donald Trump was elected into office, the shutdown had happened after a failure to pass a relevant legislation bill for government operations and agencies.

There has been a lot of finger pointing on whose fault it actually is. Between Trump and Democrats not coming to a compromise on funding, causing the federal government to shutdown. This isn’t the first time the government has shutdown. It has shutdown more times than it should. On Monday, Jan. 22, 2018 Congress ended the shutdown with the ending votes being 81-18.

Fortunately,  the shutdown only lasted two days. In the past it’s lasted a week so, who’s fault is it?

On the site Politico it says both because they are “arguing like children” and not actually getting anything done.

Do you think it’s both or are you on one side?
