With government funding set to expire in less than 72-hours, Republicans and Democrats in Congress are still trying to forge a spending bill deal to avert a government shutdown as "significant issues" still remain. "Negotiations continued throughout the weekend and progress was made but there is no deal yet and the discussions continue," a spokesman for Speaker of the House Paul Ryan told NBC News Monday.
