    US Government Shutdown Looms as Democrats and Republicans Clash

    The United States government is on the brink of its first shutdown in nearly seven years. A bitter partisan standoff over federal spending and health care subsidies has brought Washington to an impasse. The deadline for action is 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday.

    According to Bloomberg, the stalemate threatens to furlough thousands of federal workers. Both Democrats and Republicans are trading blame, with no clear path to a resolution emerging from a recent White House meeting.

    Health Care Subsidies at the Heart of the Impasse

    Senate Democrats are refusing to support a House-passed funding bill. They demand the inclusion of an extension for expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies. These expanded tax credits are set to lapse on December 31.

       

    If the subsidies expire, millions of Americans could face sharply higher health insurance premiums. Republicans, however, have labeled the House bill a “clean” continuing resolution and are resisting negotiations on the health care issue.

    White House Meeting Yields No Progress

    A bipartisan meeting with President Trump failed to break the deadlock. Following the discussion, the president posted a mocking, altered video of Democratic leaders on social media. This move was widely criticized and further soured the negotiating atmosphere.

    Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer accused the president of acting “like a 10-year-old.” He stated that only the president has the power to break the logjam and prevent a disruptive shutdown from occurring.

    The High Stakes for Federal Workers and Services

    The White House has instructed federal agencies to prepare for a “reduction in force.” This means non-essential employees could be laid off instead of merely furloughed. Most affected workers would not receive pay during a shutdown.

    The last government shutdown lasted 35 days, from December 2018 into January 2019. It ended amid significant travel disruptions and mounting pressure from unpaid federal employees and contractors.

    The potential government shutdown underscores the deep political divisions in Washington. With hours remaining, a last-minute deal is the only way to avert widespread disruption for federal services and workers across the nation.

    Thought you’d like to know

    What causes a government shutdown?

    A shutdown happens when Congress fails to pass appropriation bills or a continuing resolution to fund federal operations. Essential services continue, but many agencies close and workers go unpaid.

    Which government services continue during a shutdown?

    Essential services continue operating. This includes national security, air traffic control, law enforcement, and power grid maintenance. Many other federal agencies suspend operations.

    How many federal workers are affected by a shutdown?

    Hundreds of thousands of federal employees could be furloughed. In past shutdowns, up to 800,000 workers were sent home without pay, causing significant economic ripple effects.

    What is the economic impact of a government shutdown?

    Shutdowns hurt the economy. They disrupt government contracts, delay permits, and reduce consumer spending from furloughed workers. The 2018-2019 shutdown cost the economy an estimated $11 billion.

    Do members of Congress get paid during a shutdown?

    Yes, Congressional pay continues during a shutdown. This is because their salaries are funded by permanent law and are not subject to annual appropriation bills like other federal spending.
