The article states there will be a partial shutdown of the FAA due to congress not agreeing on its funding. It says FAA workers will stop being paid, about 4000 of them. The disagreement apparently is over three issues. Those being federal subsidies for flights to rural airports, the amount of flights allowed at Reagan National Airport, and anti union restrictions in a bill passed by the house that the senate disagrees with. The article also states that $2.5 billion in construction projects will be put on hold, adding to the unemployment aspect of this debacle.
