So just curious.

My national news sent an alert that the American government might shut down if dems don't agree with some finance law.

I've been trying to follow along, but since i'm not in US and politics have never been easy for me.

Is it even possible that government shuts down? What would happen if so?

And isn't this pretty normal for a new finance law. It happens almost every year here, but magically solves itself in the last minute.

Sorry for broken english
