The US government has begun a partial shutdown after the two houses of Congress failed to agree a budget.

I'm not from America so I wouldn't understand how it would affect the citizens of the US? Is it a bad thing that this has happened?

It isn't what it sounds like, people are making a huge deal of it and they truly don't even understand it. I advise you Google it.

It is a big deal and it affects a lot of people. I was planning on getting married and bringing my wife back to the USA with me, now that won't be possible, it is going to be delayed and who knows for how long. Also what about all those elderly living off of their pensions? How will they live without the monthly help?

EDIT: Pensions will NOT be affected.

I think it's good that they're not agreeing on a deal fast. All this spending is getting out of control and it needs to be dealt with instead of sweeping it under the rug and just getting into more debt.

This isn't a blessing in disguise... nothing changes... and when it comes back to work, nothing will have changed.

I said "think", I did not say it was. And really how do you know. None of us know.
