The U.S. government has not been working for 36 days.

The "shutdown," which has been ongoing since October 1, has become the longest government shutdown in US history.

While Democrats want to preserve health insurance subsidies for low-income citizens, Republicans consider this initiative an excessive expense for the budget.

As a result, federal agencies are partially closed, and the transportation system and social services are failing.

Experts warn that if the shutdown continues for a long time, it could cost the economy billions of dollars.
