Washington (AP) – President Donald Trump has confiscated the government’s closure as an opportunity to change the federal employee and punish critics by threatening the mass shots of employees and proposing “irreversible” shortening for programs for democrats.
Instead of just questioning the employees, the press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, said that the layoffs are “immediately” immediately “direct”. The office for management and budget announced that in the hometown of the Democratic Fi from the US house and the Senate it held around $ 18 billion in infrastructure funds for the New York U -Bahn- und Hudson tunnel projects.
Trump was amazed at the manual work of his budget director.
“He can lead the budget to a level that they couldn’t do otherwise,” said the president at the beginning of the week of the OMB director Russ Vouht, who was also a main architect of the conservative policy book for the 2025 project.
“So you take a risk by being closed,” said Trump during an event in the White House.
Thursday is the second day of shutdown, and the dial is already high. The aggressive approach of the Trump administration is what certain legislators and budget observers feared whether the congress who has the responsibility to adopt the legislation to finance the government, not to do its work and to give control to the white house.
VOUGHT, in a private conference call with the legislators of the House GOP on Wednesday afternoon told them to tell them in the next one or two. It is an expansion of the work department of government efficiency under Elon Musk, which was thrown by the federal government at the beginning of the year.
“These are everything the Trump government has been doing since January 20,” said Hakeem Jeffries, the democratic leader of the house, and referred to the President’s first day of the office. “The cruelty is the point.”
Without elementary endgame in the hand, the stalks risked deeper in October when federal employees who stay in the workplace are missing the salary checks. The impartial congress household office has estimated that around 750,000 federal employees are exposed on a certain day during the closure, a loss of $ 400 million a day.
The economic effects could be transferred to the broader economy. In previous shutdowns, “a reduced overall demand was reduced in the private sector for goods and services and GDP deported,” said the CBO.
“Stillary federal expenses for goods and services led to a loss of the income of the private sector, which further reduced the demand for other goods and services in the economy,” it said. Overall, CBO stated that there was a “damping of economic performance”, but that turned up as soon as people returned to work.
“The longer this works, the more pain is added,” said House’s spokesman, Mike Johnson, R-La., “Because it is inevitable when the government closes.”
Trump and the congress leaders will not be expected to meet again soon. The congress does not have any measures to comply with the Jewish day of the most sacred on Thursday, with the senators stay behind on Friday. The house should resume the meeting next week.
The Democrats adhere to their demands to maintain the financing of health care and refuse to support a legislative template that does not do and warns of price tips for millions of Americans nationwide. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates the insurance premiums more than twice as high as for humans who buy guidelines for the stock exchanges of the Affordable Care Act.
The Republicans have opened a door to negotiate the healthcare system, but GOP leaders say that it can wait because the subsidies that assist people to take out private insurance only take place in the year of the year.
“We are ready to have a conversation that the Americans continue to have access to health care,” said Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday in the White House.
With the congress as a standstill, the Trump government used recent levers to determine how the federal government can be designed.
The Trump administration can operate funds to pay employees in the Ministry of Defense and the Homeland Protection Authority from the so -called “a large beautiful draft law”, which this summer is called “a large, beautiful draft law”.
This would ensure that the enforcement of Trump’s immigration and the mass protection agenda is continuous. But employees who stay in the workplace with many other agencies have to wait for the government to reopen before they receive a salary check.
The congress authority has already questioned the household office this year by trying to already attribute the legislators and to raise the legislators for Head Start, Clean Energy Infrastructure Projects, Overseas AID as well as public radio and television.
State accountability has published a number of less repeated indications of examples in which the actions of the administration violated the law. But the Supreme Court in a judgment at the end of last week allowed the government of almost $ 5 billion abroad.
