US Government shutdown: Know what closes and what stays open

The article from MSN discusses the implications of a potential U.S. government shutdown, detailing what services would be affected and which would continue to operate. If Congress fails to pass necessary funding legislation by the deadline, numerous federal operations would halt, leading to the furlough of hundreds of thousands of federal workers. Essential services like national security, air traffic control, and law enforcement would continue, albeit with potential delays or reduced efficiency. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid payments would still go out, but services like passport processing, IRS operations, and national parks might close or operate minimally. Additionally, the shutdown could delay federal loans, research, and various public health services, while also impacting the economy by reducing consumer spending due to delayed paychecks for federal employees.
