Durbin: We just went through a government shutdown of your creation. Itâs cost $30 billion for taxpayers, hundreds of thousands of jobs, and the Republican Party brand is at the lowest level in the last 30 years.
And then there was the longest government shutdown in U.S. history in late 1995, lasting three weeks and sending hundreds of thousands of government workers home without paychecks. There has been only one government shutdown since then. The most recent government shutdown began on Oct. 1, 2013, when some members of the 113th Congress refused to support the continued funding of federal government operations unless parts of the Obamacare healthcare reform law were reversed or delayed. That shutdown last 16 days.
