Trump signs a temporary budget and closes the government shutdown

manager24.pl 1 month ago

President of the United States Donald Trump (79) finished the longest in US history the closure of the government, lasting 43 days, signing the fresh Finance Act. The home of Representatives approved it earlier on Wednesday, after it was passed by the Senate. The bill was adopted by 222 votes to 209, and president Trump's support mostly united his Republican Party, despite the strong opposition of the Democrats. By signing the bill hundreds of thousands of national workers will be able to return to work on Thursday, suspended distribution of food aid will be resumed, and paralysed air traffic control system will be restarted.

Some data gaps can be persistent

Voting in the home of Representatives has provided approval, despite the outrage of the Democrats, that the agreement does not include an extension of wellness insurance subsidies, which expire at the end of the year. Although the agreement foresees a legislature vote on these subsidies in December, the president of the home of Representatives Mike Johnson (53 years) has not made a appropriate commitment to his House. Democratic congresswoman Mikie Sherrill (53) called on her colleagues to argue the Trump administration. "Don't let this institution become a ceremonial stamp for an administration that deprives children of food and destroys wellness care," she said. "As we say in the Navy: Do not leave the ship".

The effects of weeks of closure are likely to be felt. Although there is hope that air traffic, in particular, will return to average before the key increase in the number of Thanksgiving trips in 2 weeks, and key economical data are to be republished in the coming days, the White home acknowledged that any data gaps may be permanent. For example, October labour marketplace and inflation reports may never be published.

There seems to be no clear political winner after this dispute. According to a survey published on Wednesday by the Information Agency Reuters and the Ipsos Institute, 50% of Americans blamed Republicans for the government's closure and 47% of Democrats. Republican Congressman David Schweikert (63) He compared the dispute to an episode of the American sitcom "Seinfeld's Kroniki": "It has just been 40 days and I inactive don't know what it was about". He added: “What happened to anger becoming politics now?”

The financial package is besides of political importance for another reason. He allowed the recently sworn Democratic organization representative, Adelicie Grijalvie (55), submission of the final signature required for the petition. The intent of this petition is to force a vote in the home of Representatives to uncover all classified papers related to a deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein – the step which the talker of the Johnson and Trump home of Representatives had previously opposed. The Act besides includes a clause that allows 8 Republican organization Senators to search compensation for alleged data breaches related to the United States Capitol investigation on 6 January 2021.
