Government Shutdown

In a CNN.com article posted on October 13, 2013, the government shutdown is analyzed. Even though it has been almost two full weeks since the government shut down, there still has been no compromise reached regarding the United States debt limit and other issues, including health care. The Republican Party and Democratic Party have clashing opinions in such national fields.  According to representatives from both parties, progress is being made. The president is not accepting any of the offers made by the Republicans in the House of Representatives.  Hopefully there will be an agreement reached in the near future. If not, there is chance that further budget problems will occur in the United States.
