UNITED STATES – Hope is fading for a quick end to the U.S. government shutdown, now dragging into its third day.

Democrats are demanding an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits, which Republicans are refusing, and President Trump is using the impasse to push for agencies to make deep cuts and layoffs.

About 750,000 federal workers could be furloughed, losing some $400 million in daily wages.

Both parties are blaming each other, with no deal in sight.
