Extended U.S. Federal Shutdown: Economic Impact and Societal Effects

The ongoing U.S. government shutdown has reached its 36th day, marking it as the longest federal closure in the nation's history. This prolonged shutdown has prompted economic analysts to estimate its weekly financial impact at a range of $10 billion to $30 billion. The effects are not limited to federal employees, as millions of Americans are reportedly experiencing consequences, including disruptions to food assistance programs. Observers have also indicated concerns that this particular shutdown may lead to more enduring economic harm compared to previous government closures.
