  • Forced to work without pay.

  • Hundreds of thousands of other federal workers, though, from NASA to the Justice Department.

  • Could be sent home.

  • Many national parks could close.

  • The longer the shutdown goes on, the shorter the more programs could be suspended,

  • Those favoring a vote by the aznas.

  • Will rise with the clock ticking.

  • Congress had a bit of a meltdown.
