Trump And Congressional Leaders To Meet Again, But Shutdown Deal Remains Unlikely President Donald Trump partially shut the government down before Christmas. Leaders were forced to work without pay for over two weeks. The cause of the shutdown is the lack of bipartisanship in the White House. Donald Trump's main campaign issue was that he was going to build a wall. Obviously something needs to be done at our southern border, and democrats are refusing to propose any deals. President Trump is not willing to re-open the government without compromise from the democrats. President Trump and congressional leaders met January 4, 2019, to attempt compromise on a deal. If the shutdown does not end soon, it will delay tax returns. Our national debt is $21.974 trillion. Spending just over $7 billion to secure our border would not be bad because our country is so far in debt and unlikely to ever get out of debt.

Due to the government shutdown many people are not receiving their regular pay checks. Lots of people are now taking to social media to show people their latest pay stub. On many of the pay stubs the deduction is much larger than the amount of money being received. People are actually 'owing' money for working instead of getting it. The deductions for their benefits are still being taken out of their non-existent paycheck. Many will be reimbursed, but for now people aren't happy. Government employees hope that the shutdown will end before breaking the record for longest shut down ever.
