The closure of the government begins as the nation faces a new period of uncertainty

Washington (AP) – immersed himself in a government closure, the United States faces a new uncertainty cycle after President Donald Trump and Congress failed to reach an agreement to maintain government programs and services that are executed in the deadline of Wednesday.

Approximately 750,000 federal workers are expected to be licensed, some potentially fired by the Trump administration. Many offices will be closed, perhaps permanently, since President Donald Trump promises to “do things that are irreversible, which are bad” as compensation. It is expected that its deportation agenda progresses at full speed, while education, the environment and other services collide. Economic consequences are expected to extend throughout the country.

“We do not want it to close,” Trump said in the White House before the midnight deadline.

But the president, who met privately with the leadership of Congress this week, seemed unable to negotiate any agreement between Democrats and Republicans to avoid that result.

This is the third time that Trump presided over a federal funds, the first since his return to the White House this year, in a remarkable record that underlines the polarizing division over budgetary priorities and a political climate that rewards hard line positions instead of more traditional commitments.

A lot of guilt is thrown

The Democrats chose this fight, which was unusual for the party that prefers to keep the government in operation, but their voters are eager to challenge the president’s second period agenda. Democrats demand funds for medical care subsidies that expire for millions of people under the low -price health care law, which increases the costs of insurance premiums throughout the country.

Republicans have refused to negotiate for now and have encouraged Trump to avoid any conversation. After the White House meeting, the president published a false cartoon video that made fun of the democratic leadership that was widely seen as little deserving and racist.

What none of the sides has devised is an easy ramp to avoid what could become a prolonged closure. Surely the ramifications will extend beyond the political sphere, turning the lives of Americans who depend on the government for benefits payments, labor contracts and the various services that are being thrown into agitation.

“In what the government spends money is a demonstration of the priorities of our country,” said Rachel Snyderman, former White House budget who is the managing director of Economic Policy at the Bipartisan Policies Center, a group of experts in Washington.

The closures, he said, “only inflict economic costs, fear and confusion throughout the country.”

Economic consequences are expected to extend throughout the country

You could feel an economic shake in a matter of days. The government is expected to produce its monthly jobs report, which may or may not be delivered.

While financial markets have generally “shoulder shrink” during the previous stops, according to an analysis of Goldman Sachs, this could be different in part because there are no broader signs of negotiations.

“There are also few good analogies for the possible closure of this week,” the analysis said.

Throughout the government, the preparations have been underway. The Trump Administration and Budget Office, headed by Russ Vought, ordered the agencies to execute plans not only for licenses, such as typical during a period of federal funds, but also the massive shots of federal workers. It is part of the Trump administration mission, including its government efficiency department, to reduce the federal government.

What is open and off?

Medicare and Medicaid medical care programs are expected to continue, although personnel shortage could mean delays for some services. The pentagon would still work. And most employees will remain at work in the Department of National Security.

But Trump warned that the administration could focus on programs that are important for Democrats, “cut a large number of people, cut things they like, cut programs they like.”

As agencies classify which workers are essential, or not, Smithsonian museums are expected to remain open at least until Monday. A group of former superintendents of the National Park urged the Trump administration to close the parks to visitors, arguing that the parks badly with a closure staff are a danger to the public and put the resources of the park at risk.

There is no easy way out as medical care costs shoot

Before the start of the fiscal year on Wednesday, the Republicans of the House of Representatives had approved a temporary financing bill, on the opposition of the Democrats, to keep the government running in mid -November while broader negotiations continue.

But that bill has repeatedly failed in the Senate, even Tuesday night. A threshold of 60 votes is needed for approval, which requires cooperation between the two parties. A democratic bill also failed. With a majority of Republican Party 53-47, Democrats are taking advantage of their votes to demand negotiation.

The leader of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, has said that Republicans are happy to discuss the problem of medical care with the Democrats, but not as part of the conversations to maintain the open government. More votes are expected on Wednesday.

The confrontation is a political evidence for the Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, who has extracted the contempt of a disturbing voter base of the left flank that pushes the party to keep firm in his demands for financing medical care.

“Americans are suffering with greater costs,” said Chuck Schumer after the failed vote on Tuesday.

The president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, sent the legislators home almost two weeks after having approved the project of republican law, blaming the Democrats for the closure.

“They want to fight Trump,” Johnson said Tuesday at CNBC. “Many good people will be injured by this.”

Trump, during his meeting with the leaders of Congress, expressed surprise for the reach of the growing costs of medical care, but the Democrats did not leave their way to the conversations.

During Trump’s first mandate, the nation endured its longest closure, 35 days, on its demands of funds, Congress refused to provide to build its promised border wall of Us-Mexico.

In 2013, the Government closed for 16 days during the Presidency of Obama on the demands of the Republican Party to repeal and replace the low -price health care law, also known as Obamacare. Other closures date from decades.
