Start with this article from CNN, it gives a good overview of the shutdown, why it happened, and issues surrounding the shutdown. Here is a similar article from FoxNews. Continue to research the issue and answer the following questions:
1. Do our representatives have a responsibility to avoid this type of government shutdown?
2. How can this shutdown affect the US economy? Be specific.
3. Is this heated partisanship an indicator that the government is broken or that our system of checks and balances are working?
4. Should changes to Obamacare be on the table for this type of budget negotiation? Why or why not?
