Money for nothing. The Washington Monument was closed to tourists in the shutdown. Published 17 March Published 2 March Why: The first Carter shutdown not about abortion! Well, not entirely about it; that did factor into a dispute about HEW funding. But beyond that, Carter vetoed a defense spending bill because it funded a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier he considered wasteful, and a public works bill because of projects he considered pork.
Carter ultimately prevailed, and funding for the carrier and the projects he opposed was stripped. The House also wanted higher pay for congressional and civil service staff. Why: This was the first shutdown, in the current sense of the term, when federal government functions were seriously curtailed. The Senate was willing to comply, but the House insisted on bigger defense cuts and on pay increases for itself and the civil service.
The shutdown ended quickly after Congress passed a continuing resolution for a little less than a month, giving them time to negotiate. Why: This one literally happened because Reagan and Congress had social engagements and forgot to keep funds flowing in the meantime.
I swear to God. Congress missed the deadline tonight for action on a catch-all spending bill needed to finance the Government in the next two and a half months, even though House and Senate conferees adopted a compromise measure resolving differences in the legislation approved by each chamber. The House and Senate will not act on the measure until Friday.
Congressional leaders barred a late-night session because of major social events tonight by both Republicans and Democrats.

About , workers were furloughed for half a day. Why: Congressional Democrats were resisting further funding for the Contras in Nicaragua, and insisted on reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, a Federal Communications Commission rule that had recently been abandoned, which required broadcasters to show balanced perspectives on political issues.
Why: Bush pledged to veto any continuing resolution that did not come with a plan to reduce the deficit. The House tried to override his veto and failed, forcing a shutdown in which millions of workers were furloughed.
The House and Senate agreed to a joint budget resolution outlining a declining deficit, and Bush signed a continuing resolution. Why: Gingrich and Dole sent Clinton a continuing resolution including hikes to Medicare premiums, rollbacks of environmental regulations, and a requirement to balance the budget within seven years.
Clinton vetoed it, and the government went into shutdown. The shutdown ended with a deal among the three leaders to fund the government at 75 percent levels for four weeks so that negotiations could keep going.
