Partial government shutdown (view source)
Revision as of 17:12, December 17, 2010
, 17:12, December 17, 2010When is a "shutdown" not a shutdown? When partisan politics is involved
A "government shutdown" is a suspension of non-essential government services, such as the administration of national parks, lotteries, etc. Despite the scary-sounding verbiage, the military and all other essential services continue without interruption. In late 1995 and early 1996 the US government shut down non-essential services during a partisan budget crisis.
