The US government entered the morning in budget paralysis. What effects will this “shutdown” have and why could it last

The US government has suspended much of its activities on Wednesday, because the deep misunderstandings between the parties prevented Congress and the White House from reaching an agreement on the budget, triggering a possible lasting confrontation, which could lead to the loss of thousands of jobs at the federal level, reports Reuters. The so -called government “shutdown” came into effect at midnight in the US (07:00 in Romania).

At this time, a clear way out of the deadlock is seen, and the government agencies warned that the 15-Government Blocking (Shutdown) after 1981 will have the effects of publishing the important September report on employment, delays in airs. Federal employees, with a daily cost of $ 400 million.

Trump, whose campaign of radical reform of the federal government is already about to dismiss about 300,000 employees until December, warned the Congress democracies that the blockage could open the way for “irreversible” actions, including cutting more jobs and state programs.

“During the shutdown, we can do irreversible things, which are unfavorable to them and irreversible to them, such as dismissing a large number of people, eliminating things they like,” said Trump journalists, in the Oval Office of the White House.

A stake of $ 1.700 billion

The “budget paralysis” started a few hours after the Senate rejected a short -term expense measure that would have maintained the operation of the Government until November 21. Democrats opposed the project because of the refusal of Republicans to include an extension of health benefits for millions of Americans, who are to expire at the end of the year. Republicans say the problem must be approached separately.

Regarding the funding of the Government, the issue is represented by $ 1,700 billion for the operation of government agencies, which represents about a quarter of the total government budget of $ 7,000 billion.

Much of the rest of the budget is allocated to health and interest programs and payments for $ 37,500 billion.

Independent analysts warn that the blockage could take longer than those related to the past budget, Trump and White House officials threatening to punish democrats with discounts on government programs and federal wages.

Trump's budget director, Russell Vought, who asked for “less bipartisan” allocations, threatened last week with permanent redundancies.

The longest “Shutdown” of the government in US history has spread over a 35-day period between December 2018 and January 2019, during Trump's first term, in a border security dispute.

Democrats say they won't give up

“All they want to do is try to intimidate us. And they will not succeed,” said the Senate Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, in a plenary speech, one day after a meeting at the White House with Trump and other Congress leaders, who ended with the two parties in great distance.

The leader of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, described the failed law on short -term spending as a “non -partisan” measure, devoid of political implications, which the Democrats had no problem accepting in the past years.

“What has changed is the fact that President Trump is at the White House. This is about it. This is politics. And there is no substantial reason why there should be a closure of the Government,” said the Republican of the Press.

Trump's Republicans hold the majority in both rooms of the Congress, but the legislative rules require 60 of the 100 senators to agree to the Law on expenses. This means that at least seven Democrats are needed to adopt a budget bill.

Democrats are under the pressure of their supporters eager to achieve a rare victory before the intermediate elections of 2026, which will determine the Congress for the last two years of Trump's mandate.

The pressure in the field of health offered them the chance to join a problem that resonates with the voters.

In addition to expanding health subsidies, Democrats have also tried to ensure that Trump will not be able to cancel these changes if they are promulgated. Trump refused to spend billions of dollars approved by Congress, which made some Democrats wonder why they should vote for any budget law.

“We cannot definitely know where it will be reached

Professor Robert Pape at the University of Chicago said that the unusual political climate in the US, following the assassination of Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and the increasing power of the extreme wings of both parties could make an agreement between the leaders of the parties for the reopening of the Government.

“The rules of politics change radically and we cannot certainly know where it will be reached,” said Robert Pape, professor of political science at the University of Chicago.

“Each camp should give back to tens of millions of truly aggressive supporters, their own voters, which will be very difficult to do,” he said.

Prior to the government block, Trump addressed his own supporters with a Deepfake video showing false images with Schumer criticizing Democrats, while the leader of the Democrats in the Chamber of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, was standing next to him, with a Sombrero hat and a mustache drawn.

“He was a child. He was a messchin,” Schumer told the press. “It is something that a 5 -year -old would do, not the president of the United States. But he shows how serious they are. They do not care about the damage they will cause with the closure of the Government,” he added.
