The story is a bit complicated, but it comes to the Republicans sending President Clinton a funding bill that cut much federal spending,including higher Medicare premiums. Demanding a “clean” bill, Clinton vetoes the Republican bill and when they refuse to pass a new bill, the federal government shut down. The Republicans standing in polls plummets.Â

Gingrich and the rest of Republican leadership believed that if they forced a shutdown based on cutting spending that the American public would rally to their cause, but instead they were viewed as stubborn
