The threat of a government shutdown is a way for one side to pressure the other side to agree to some of their demands. In the meantime, they hold the people they supposedly represent hostage. Will social security benefits go out, will the military get paid, will Federal employees have to work without pay?
Of note is that Congress never misses a check. Even when they are playing the game of 'we are taking our ball and going home'.
It's emotional and financial abuse of their constituents.
