[周刊王CTWANT] Because the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in the United States have serious differences over the U.S. government’s multiple budget proposals for 2024, and because most of the U.S. funds will expire on the 30th, it was reported as early as half a month ago that the public sector of the U.S. government may be shut down. Although the Republican Party once proposed a stopgap bill for short-term spending measures in the hope of extending the funding period for the government, the bill was defeated in the House of Representatives, where the Republicans have a majority. Therefore, the U.S. government is about to close on Monday (Oct. 1 Japan) is almost a foregone conclusion.
According to a Reuters report, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer announced a bill on the 26th to allow the federal government to obtain funds to continue operations until November 17, which also included providing approximately $6.15 billion to Ukraine. Funds, 59.9 yuan in disaster relief assistance. Although the bill passed the Senate, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy at the time had made it clear that the bill passed by the Senate would not be submitted to the House of Representatives for a vote.
McCarthy himself also proposed a stopgap bill for short-term spending measures on the 27th, which allows the U.S. government to extend its operation for 30 days while also cutting spending under the current situation. Although it once achieved a majority in procedural voting, in the end, under the leadership of Republican hardliners, the bill was unable to pass the consent of the majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives. The bill was defeated in the House of Representatives by a vote of 198 to 232.
But even if the bill is passed, because the bill contains provisions such as cutting government spending and implementing border immigration security restrictions that are strongly promoted by the Republican Party, “Reuters” reported that even if the House of Representatives passes the bill, the Senate, where Democrats hold the majority, will not be able to The chances of passing the bill are also very low.
After the bill was rejected by the House of Representatives, McCarthy said, “This is not over yet. I have other ideas.” It is currently reported that the House Republican Conference has held a meeting on the afternoon of the 29th to discuss the failure of the stopgap bill on short-term spending measures.
The report also mentioned that if the House and Senate cannot pass a budget bill (or a short-term budget bill) that can be signed by President Biden before 12 noon Eastern Time on the 30th (0:00 Taiwan time on October 1) , most public departments of the U.S. government will face the dilemma of having no money available, and most public departments will shut down as a result. In fact, the federal government began notifying various departments to prepare for a shutdown as early as the 28th.
According to records, the U.S. government has shut down four times in the past, but most of them resumed operations immediately after a day or two of shutdown. Only at the end of 2018 and early 2019, due to then-U.S. President Trump’s insistence on the U.S.-Mexico border wall, the U.S.-Mexico border wall was shut down. The government shutdown lasted for 35 days, which is also the longest on record.
