The United States Government is aimed at shutting down because Republicans and Democrats look unlikely that they would achieve an agreement on financing on Wednesday 1st October. Interestingly, the previous government weaning also became the supervision of President Donald Trump. According to CNN, weaning lasted from 22 December 2018 to 25 January 2019.
The publication states that the government has lost an estimated $ 3 billion in GDP. It was the longest government shutdown in history and took 35 days.
Turning off the Government 2018-19
The previous shutdown of the government in 2018-19 was a partial weaning, which recorded 300,000 out of approximately 800,000 government employees that emerged, the CNN report. At that time, the Congress managed to approve the financing legislation for certain agencies and ensure that a large number of employees remain active.
However, as soon as the stop ended, both the suspension and the unfulfilled government employees were given the payment throughout the shutdown.
The upcoming potential shutdown
The dead end leading to the further shutdown of the US government is due to the fact that Republicans do not have a supermajorite in the Senate. With less than 60 seats in the upper house, the Democrats cannot stop the blockade against the financing of legislation.
Hill states that the Democrats insist on full Medicaid financing and on the continuation of subsidies provided for the Affordable Care Act. This will show up as the key in the works.

Worries about the imminent shutdown
What makes the upcoming possibilities more problematic for government employees is the possibility of permanent release of civil servants. Trump’s administration wanted to reduce the state apparatus and, according to the Washington post, asked various agencies to consider large cuts in the staff.
Republicans proposed a temporary seven -day financing agreement to avert the weaning. This proposal was approved in the house, but due to the small majority it will not be clear in the Senate.
