President Obama accused the Republicans of holding the country hostage, while the Democrats rejected yet another offer, from the Republicans, to restore funding to the government.
It was the third offer from the Republicans, while none have been offered by the Democrats.
Eight hundred thousand government workers have been put on unpaid leave, due to the shutdown.
National parks, museums, commissaries on military bases, and various government agencies are amongst the many things closed due to no longer having funding.
CNN has compiled a complete list of all government agencies, detailing whether they are open or closed, how many employees have been furloughed, and why.
With the Democrats unwilling to negotiate with Republicans, it is unclear how long the shutdown will last.
