How is the government shutdown being felt across the US? | Inside Story

The US government has shut down after Democrats voted down a bill that would have cut healthcare funding, saying it would be damaging to the American public. Republicans say the Democrats are damaging the economy. Donald Trump says this is a chance for him to save money, by firing federal government workers and cutting spending. He is targeting what he calls the Democrat’s special projects that include environmental initiatives, housing services and infrastructure. Are the cuts being made in the public interest? Who is being worst affected by the shutdown? And what does this all mean for the US economy?
