For the first time in 17 years, the U.S. closes non-essential services, furloughing around 800,000 federal workers in a move that will cost the country billions.

What a great lesson can we learn from this matter and how it will affect the world economy as whole from now.

Politics is a dirt game. Obamacare is much better for the middle and the poor, but it takes away the interest of the republicans' funder. Republicans are fighting to serve their own interest not for americans. I am not sure if ccm has the same view

More than 800,000 federal employees face unpaid leave with no guarantee of back pay once the deadlock is over.
It is the first partial shutdown in 17 years.

In U.S. politics, a government shutdown is a situation in which the government stops providing all but "essential" services. Typically, federal services that continue despite a shutdown include the National Weather Service and its parent agencies, medical services at federal facilities, the postal service, armed forces, air traffic management, and corrections (the penal system). A government shutdown is similar to a lockout in the private sector.

US GOVT SHUT DOWN

1. Democrats, Republicans in showdown over shutdown: The White House ordered government agencies to begin shutting down after the Democratic-led Senate and Republican-controlled House refused to back down in a clash over scaling back President Barack Obama's landmark health care law as the price for essential federal funding.
   
2. What is the US government shutdown? It is a political situation in which the government stops providing for all but "essential" services such as police, fire fighting, etc. So unless Congress raises the federal borrowing cap (the legal limit on how much debt the US government can pile up), some of the government would shut down on October 1 as it will run out of money to pay its bills.
   
3. Why will the government stop funding services? The US budget year ends on September 30. The House of Representatives and Senate are considering bills to fund the government past the deadline. But Republicans want to cut off funding for President Barack Obama's health care law as a condition of passing the spending measure. The Senate and the White House are unwilling to agree. Unless one side essentially blinks, a partial shutdown of the government will occur.
   
4. Has it happened before? The US federal government has shut down on 17 occasions since 1976.
   
5. How will it affect US citizens? About one-third of the government will shut down. About 800,000 of about 2.1 million federal employees will be sent home without pay. National parks will close. The Environmental Protection Agency, NASA and other agencies will close most operations. The military and other agencies involving safety and security would continue to function.
   
6. What would be the effect on the economy? A three-week shutdown would slow the economy's annual growth rate in the October-December quarter by up to 0.9 percentage point, Goldman Sachs estimates. If so, the growth rate next quarter would be a scant 1.6 per cent, compared with the 2.5 per cent that many economists now forecast.
   
7. What if Congress can't agree to raise the cap in time? It could be disastrous. The government might be forced to immediately slash spending by 32 per cent, the Bipartisan Policy Center estimates. The government could miss interest payments on Treasurys, triggering a first-ever default by the U.S. government. U.S. Treasurys are held by banks, governments and individuals worldwide. Ultimately, a prolonged default could lead to a global financial crisis.
   
8. Will the economy escape harm if both deadlines are met? Probably. The last major fight over the borrowing cap, in the summer of 2011, wasn't resolved until hours before the deadline. Even though the deadline was met, Standard & Poor's issued the first-ever downgrade of long-term U.S. credit. That, in turn, led to a 635-point plunge in the Dow Jones industrial average the next day. The International Monetary Fund estimated last month that U.S. budget disputes, like the 2011 showdown, can slow annual growth by up to 0.5 percentage points in other parts of the world.
   
9. What about financial markets? The price declines in stock markets have been modest so far as investors feel they have seen this movie before and know how it ends: with another last-minute deal.
   
10. High volatility and weak dollar: Andrew Freris of BNP Paribas Wealth Management told NDTV that a possible shutdown will lead to sharp volatility in stock markets and will lead to a weakening of the US dollar, though temporarily.

Marekani gizani, mshahara wa Obama wasimamishwa
------------------------------
Ikulu ya Marekani White House imetoa amri ya kufungwa baadhi ya mashirika ya serikali... Amri hiyo ya kufungwa baadhi ya taasisi za serikali ya Marekani ilitolewa jana dakika kumi kabla ya serikali kuishiwa rasmi na fedha za matumizi... Vilevile thuluthi mbili ya wafanyakazi wa serikali akiwemo Rais Barack Obama, watalazimika kufanya kazi bila ya malipo hadi mgogoro wa bajeti kati ya Warepublican na Wademokrat utakapotatuliwa.

Serikali ya Marekani imeamkia (Jana) Jumanne kwa pigo kubwa ya kufunga baadhi ya afisi za umma kutokana na ukosefu wa fedha za kuziendesha. Hili limetokana na kukosekana maafikiano kati ya mabunge mawili ya congress juu ya bajeti mpya.... Watafiti wanasema kuwa makisio yanaonesha kuwa iwapo tatizo hili litaendelea kwa zaidi ya wiki tatu, na afisi hizi kufungwa zaidi ya asili mia 0.9% ya pato la Marekani itapotezwa. Habari kutoka mjini Washington zianasema kuwa mgawanyiko wa kisiasa nchini Marekani ni mbaya sana kiasi kuwa serikali inashindwa kutekeleza majukumu.
