City of Industry (AFP) – Hundreds of cars queue in California’s City of Industry, as people wait for hours to receive food donations amid an ongoing US government shutdown. Both Democrats and Republicans remain unwavering over the main sticking point in the current stoppage — health care spending. Democrats say they will only provide votes to end the funding lapse after a deal has been struck to extend expiring insurance subsidies that make health care affordable for millions of Americans. But Republicans insist they will only address health care once Democrats have voted to switch the lights back on in Washington.
