Government Shutdowns and Political Polarization
The ongoing government shutdown, now in day 20, highlights the increasingly acute political polarization of the United States.
A government shutdown lasts as long as at least one political party thinks it gains an advantage by it, aiming to win the blame game and get the public angry at their opponents, which each party hopes will result in a boost in the next election.
Agreement to end a shutdown requires at least a few members of the opposing party to break ranks, relying on the opinions of independents or swing voters.
