Who is hurt most in a government shutdown?
Public Safety - Federal occupational safety and health inspectors would likely stop workplace inspections
Vets - Vets appealing disability claims would have to wait
Children - Head Start programs would be affected immediately
Food Safety - The Food and Drug Administration would suspend most routine safety inspections
Women, Infants, Children - WIC, shut down. The program provides supplemental food, health care referrals and nutrition education for pregnant women, mothers and their children.
Public Health - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would be severely limited in spotting or investigating disease outbreaks.
Public Interest - All national parks would be closed, as would the Smithsonian museums, including the National Zoo in Washington.
Loans - Low-to-moderate incomes borrowers and first-time homebuyers seeking government-backed mortgages face delays.The Federal Housing Administration, wouldn’t underwrite or approve any new loans. government-backed loans to small businesses would be suspended.
Military - The military’s 1.4 million active duty personnel would stay on duty, but their paychecks would be delayed. About half of the Defense Department’s civilian employees would be furloughed.
So it’s nice to know that the Republican’s view a government shutdown as a political game, it’s not that funny to those of us outside the beltway
