President Donald Trump on Tuesday said a government shutdown would be a "small price to pay" to secure funding for the wall he wants to build along the US-Mexico border.
Economists say a shutdown could cause the economy to lose up to $2 billion per week .
Government shutdowns have far-reaching consequences that affect many aspects of the federal government and economy.
It's estimated that the 2013 government shutdown, which lasted 16 days, cost the economy somewhere between $2 and $6 billion.
