Doesn't the US government shut down like twice a year for at least a day or two? I assume this is a canned webpage used multiple times.
It's been the longest shutdown ever. A short shutdown doesn't usually effect very much because departments have extra cash in the bank. This time it's going on long enough things are actually starting to shutdown.
By 2 days (so far), the previous record was under Bill Clinton.
