During the twelfth day of the shutdown of the federal government, the parties in Congress are still far from a solution. So far, hundreds of thousands of government employees have been laid off and now there are warnings of further cutbacks, reports AP.
The longer this goes on, the more extensive the cutbacks will become. To be clear, some of these cutbacks will be painful. This is not a situation we enjoy. This is not something we look forward to, but the Democrats have given us a fairly difficult situation to handle, says Vance to Fox News.
The shutdown affects the US federal activities because Congress has not managed to agree on a budget.
