Government Shutdown

The story I choose comes from BBC, published on September 2 and it talks about the decision that both the Republican and Democrats have to stop arguing about and answer or else the government will have to shutdown. Both parties have to come to terms and figure out how the US should pay its bills, but also a shutdown doesn't come without a prize. The two previous government shutdown were costly, around $1.4 million. Also they would affect national parks and zoos since they will have to close down, it would take longer to get your passport, and taxes will rise along with other various changes in government programs. We should urge them to make a decision or else all of us would be affected by thus government shutdown and nobody will be happy until it ends. I found the article informative about how the shutdown would affect certain services and how that can affect normal citizens.
