Will the U.S. Government Shutdown Tonight?
The United States Federal Government will effectively shutdown at midnight tonight if an agreement is not made between Republicans and President Obama.
Yesterday, Obama promised to veto a House Republican bill that would allow the government to remain open for an additional week.
If the government does shutdown, some 800,000 federal employees, as well as military service men and women, will go without a paycheck, while lawmakers will continue to be paid.
