Since there are only hours before the midnight deadline, the lack of expenditure agreement may lead to the US government, which stops numerous government services and the delay of the federal employees because the Democrats and the Republicans remain blocked in the financing plan.
While the last minute financing agreements have prevented several potential shutdowns in recent years, the current situation has a particularly high share. The White House warned that it could fire employees instead of being placed on Furlough, and democratic leaders face growing pressure from the progressive wing of the party to firmly oppose President Donald Trump.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican of Louisiana, reported Fox News on Monday: “They would not have any of these crazy demands.”
Democratic leaders killed Republicans for avoiding repeated requirements for bilateral negotiations. The leader of the minorities of the Senate Chuck Schumer said: “Their bill does not have one Iota democratic entry. It is in the Republicans whether they want to shut down or not.”
Despite the possibility of a short shutdown of the government, Republican legislators remained convinced that the Democrats would eventually calm down.
Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican of South Carolina, mentioned: “600-Liber is more likely to hand over a donut than the democrats are to close the government all the time because they love government, just like £ 600 loves a donut.”
Graham expected only a “short” weaning because both sides work on a compromise. He pointed out that the Republicans had previously tried to use weaning to extract political concessions, but eventually ended in financing the government without achieving their goals.
“It may be popular, but off the government is not an answer to popular legislation. I learned that hard,” he added.
In an interview with Politic, Trump said he didn’t think the country would consider him responsible if the government had shut down “because people who were smart could see what was happening. The Democrats are crushed”.
What will happen in the turn of the US government?
When the financing fails, federal law orders the agencies to stop the operation and place the “non -fit” employees at Furlough. Those who are considered exceptions, usually workers involved in life and property, must continue to work without reward until they end up.
During the 35 -day partial shutdown of the government in the first term of Trump, out of 800,000 federal employees, 340,000 was upset, while the rest, classified as “exception”, were required to continue work, according to AP.
