'No good outcome' - voters across US share concerns about shutdown
'No good outcome' - voters across US share concerns about shutdown
US lawmakers from both parties are pointing the finger at one another as thousands of workers sit on unpaid leave and the shutdown continues with no end in sight.
Democrats have refused to back the Republican spending plan unless expiring healthcare subsidies which they say many working families rely on are renewed.
Republicans want Democrats to pass a short-term bill first and then they can discuss the subsidies.
We have asked six people what they think of the stalemate.
This California voter is worried about the widespread impact of the shutdown on everyday Americans.
The Republicans have 53 votes, they need 60 to pass the measure. Is it that hard to come together over seven votes so that Americans aren't being hurt?
If this continues on another week or two, the bottom line is Americans are being hurt, American citizens are being affected by this and somebody needs to do something to be the grown-up in the group.
I think sometimes legislators are so far away from us, the regular person living their lives, so they don't remember what the struggle is like and I think they need to take that into consideration, especially if it's 750,000 Americans that are not getting paid.
