Government Shutdown

I honestly do not understand why a government shutdown is necessary, it is a childish way of dealing with a situation. Not only does this shutdown effect the government production but, it effects the people of the US too. Now that this has begun people have lost jobs in the sense of money, they go to work knowing they are not going to be payed. I cannot believe that people are going to suffer for something that the government has done, and in which is the Republicans fault. They originally agreed and passed the law and now they are complaining about it all. There has been a reason why government shutdown has not happened in 17 years, it is because it is unproductive and destroys people's working lives. We are going to lose tons of jobs and workers interests, the amounts of money  lost for workers dude to non payed work time is going to be substantial.

NBC News covers the story using the background information of the situation and provides statistics such as 89 dead and 100s injured. Also they were very short and succinct about their coverage, along with them only speaking on the behalf of the police and their actions to control the situation.

 

On the other hand, The New York Times gave a lengthy analysis and summary of the scene and story. They touched more on the scene and the aftermath of the situation, they talked about the clothing left all over the bridge, the number of people who drowned in the river below and the people crushed on the bridge due to the stampede.

 

Question

For the Government Shutdown, we are now heading into another week of this stalemate, does anyone think they have a easy solution that should be proposed or any other thoughts as to the gravity of the situation? Is this necessary? Is there a better way to go about the same situation?
