Stop 101: what is closed, what remains open and is injured

The clock checks to finance the government, and so far, legislators have not had the way to avoid partial closure.

The Senate returned to Washington, DC on Monday, and Congress leaders should meet President Donald Trump to negotiate an agreement on government financing. But last week saw the two parties pointing the finger that would closure of the government.

Legislators have until midnight on Wednesday to adopt a short -term financing extension, otherwise the government will close. And if so, that would be the third closure under Trump.

A government closure occurs when the congress can neither adopt the 12 bills of credits necessary to finance the government, nor adopt a continuous resolution (CR), which generally maintains static financing levels while legislators are jostling to complete their work on expenditure invoices.

Since 1980, there have been 10 government closings. Only three have occurred since the beginning of the century.

All stops are different and the imminent closure is no exception. However, this could have more devastating effects on the federal workforce than previous closures given the order of the administration to undertake mass dismissals.

Programs like Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid will continue, as well as postal service, hospitals and clinics of veterans and immigration security activities and border patrols, among others. Federal employees will probably be without salary, and a series of agencies will see their services hampered by holidays, such as IRS and Small Business Administration. Housing programs can also see a delay in rental assistance and loans.

As a general rule, the closures see thousands of federal workers deemed “non -essential” on leave, but the management and budget office (OMB) published a note last week which oriented agencies to use this opportunity to consider a reduction in force (RIF) for all employees “in programs that do not have any other source of available financing and who do not behave with Trump priorities if the laws could not finance the government.

“Rif’s opinions will be added to any notice of leave provided due to the abandonment of credits,” said the memo, and they will be issued “, whether the employee is except or on leave during the credit period”.

Then there is the cost of a closure. Although the cost of a partial closure this year is unknown, the Congress Budget Office made A analysis the cost of the last time the government closed in 2019.

The report, published in January 2019, revealed that the closure experienced around $ 18 billion in federal spending, which resulted in a drop in gross domestic product in the first quarter of $ 8 billion. The report notes about $ 3 billion from those who are not recovered.

He also found that federal workers who received delayed payments and private companies were the hardest.

“Some of these private sector entities will never recover this lost income,” said the report.

The Republicans and Democrats of the Congress are in an impasse on the current CR, not so much because of what is in the bill – he would keep the government open until November 21 and includes tens of millions of new expenses for the security of the legislators – but because of what he is missing.

Democratic legislators have demanded that the short -term extension includes at least one extension to expire subsidies to Obamacare premiums and warned that if the congress does not act, millions of Americans will see their health costs increase.

Although subsidies do not express before the end of the year, the Democrats of the Congress noted that insurers are preparing to send new prices on October 1.

But the Republicans of the Senate, including the leader of the majority in the Senate, John Thune, Rs.d., said that conversations on subsidies can occur after the funding of the government, but that this has so far not been sufficient for the leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., and the Senate, and the Senate, and the Senate, and the Senate, and the Senate,
Democrats.

“Basically, nothing has changed, and the choice remains the same: Democrats can either vote for a clean Cr, in the short term and non -partisan who prioritizes the American people, or they can choose a completely preventable stop that prioritizes politics above all,” said Thune to “meet the press”.

Thune and Schumer, as well as the president of the room, Mike Johnson, R-La., And the minority head of the Hakeem Jeffries room, Dn.y., will meet Trump on Monday afternoon. The Confab occurs after Trump canceled a meeting with Democrats leaders earlier this week.

Schumer and Jeffries declared in a joint statement after a new meeting was established that “the Democrats will meet anywhere, at any time and with anyone to negotiate a bipartite expenditure agreement which meets the needs of the American people”.

“We are resolved in our determination to avoid a closure of the government and to approach the republican health care crisis,” they said. “Time runs out.”
