The last government shutdown was the longest in more than 40 years. Here are all the recent shutdowns in one chart

The US federal government faces a looming shutdown on October 1st as Congress struggles to reach a spending agreement. Unlike the 35-day shutdown in 2018-2019, which cost billions and furloughed hundreds of thousands, this current lapse would be a full government shutdown. With a narrow House majority and Senate filibuster challenges, avoiding the shutdown remains uncertain, potentially impacting numerous government services.
