Description: It is now Day 17 of the federal government shutdown, making it the third longest in modern U.S. history. The stalemate is expected to continue into next week, with lawmakers still divided over major issues — most notably, the Affordable Care Act tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of the year. The White House currently has no plans to step in and intervene.
