The US Government remains without resolution in sight after the Senate on Wednesday (October 8) failed to approve either a Republican or democratically supported law on short -term financing. The vote meant the sixth unsuccessful attempt to expand federal financing when it enters its eighth day.
The legislators in the Senate rejected the persistent resolution, which would fund the government by November 21. The vote was 54-45, which did not reach 60 votes needed to develop legislation.
Three Democratic Senators broke the ranks to vote “yes” on the Republican measure, while there was only one Republican, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.
The Senate also rejected the version of the Democrat financing Act, which included the provisions on health care. Congress remains blocked with the failure of both proposals, making federal programs and limbo workers.
Trump Signals Changes to Federal Worker Back Pay
President Donald Trump warned this week that federal workers do not have to receive a reward as soon as it ends, which differs sharply from the precedens. He also threatened the release and cuts for government programs if the patant continues.
“It depends on what we are talking about,” Trump said on Tuesday in an oval office as he asked if employees were guaranteed back. “For the most part, we will take care of our people. There are some people who really do not deserve to take care of them, and we will take care of them in another way.”
House Republicans calling to action
The House Republicans expressed frustration from the continuing hopeless situation and urged the Senate and Democrats to act.
“This madness may end. This madness must end up with reasonable reason,” said the leader of the majority Steve Scalis. “Chuck Schumere, if you can’t do the right thing because you are so afraid of your political work, think about the jobs of millions of families who do not want to have this suffering.”
During a press conference, some legislators have repeated the claim that the Democrats are trying to provide health care to undocumented immigrants. The federal law limits such care and only allows emergency coverage of Medicaid for undocumented individuals.
