No United States Government....
Just a few minutes ago, the United States government lost the authority to spend money and is now shut down.
We never thought we would see this again. It has been 17 years since the last government shutdown.
The immediate impact: 800,000 people who work for the federal government will be furlough....probably without pay. National parks will close. People seeking mortgages and first time home buyers will have to wait.
However, Congress did one good thing tonight. They passed a bill that will allow our troops who are in harm's way to be paid on time during this shutdown. President Obama has signed the bill.
How long will this shutdown last? We do not know.
This is very irresponsible and could have been avoided.
We will continue to monitor this over the next few hours and days and report as we know more.
Good night and good luck.
