Washington (AP) – Republican and Democratic legislators in a dead end to reopen the reopening of the Federal government Provided that only a few public signatures on Sunday with meaningful negotiations, which dealt with a five -day closure to end to end.
Managers of both parties bet that public feeling has curved its way and put pressure on the other side to the cave. Democrats insist on renewing subsidies for cover Health insurance costs For millions of households during President Donald Trump wants to preserve the existing output level and threatens Permanent federal workers fire When the government remains closed.
The dispute comes in a moment of the worrying economic uncertainty. While the US economy has continued to grown this year The attitude has slowed down And inflation remains increased as Trump Import taxes have created a number of disorders for companies and employers have violated confidence in his leadership. At the same time there is recognition that almost that Annual budget deficit of 2 trillion dollars Is not financially sustainable, but there must be a coalition about the potential tax increases and expenses in order to reduce credit constraints.
House of democratic leaders Hakeem JeffriesThere have been no discussions with Republican leaders among those who appear in the Sunday news broadcasts since their meeting of the White House on Monday.
“Unfortunately, the Republicans, including Donald Trump, have been breastfeeding the radio since then,” said Jeffries. “And what we saw is the negotiation through Deepfake videosThe house parks voices and of course President Trump editions yesterday for the Golf course. This is not a responsible behavior. “
Trump was asked by SMS by Jake Tapper from CNN about Shutdown talks. The Republican President reacted with confidence, but without details.
“We win and shorten the costs a lot,” said Trump in an SMS message, said CNN.
His administration looks at the shutdown as an opening practice more power over the budgetWith several officials, they say that they will save money because the employees are triggered by imposing indefinite work cuts from government employees. A tactic that has never been used before.
Although it trumps the choice, he believes that he can blame the Democrats for the layoffs because of the shutdown.
“It is up to them,” Trump told reporters on Sunday morning before attacking the President’s helicopter. “Everyone who has been released is due to the Democrats.”
While Trump became famed in the TV show “The apprentice” With IS key word of “You are dismissed”, Republicans claimed on Sunday that the government would not enjoy leaving federal workers Infrastructure and energy projects in democratic areas.
“We haven’t seen the details yet” with layoffs, house spokesman Mike Johnson said on NBC. “But it is an unfortunate situation that the president does not want.”
Kevin HassettDirector of the National Economic Council of the White Housesaid that the administration wants to avoid the layoffs that she had specified on Friday, a deadline that was announced and went without decisions.
“We want the Democrats to register and complete a deal that is a clean, continuous solution that gives us for seven weeks to talk about these things,” said Hassett about CNN. “But the end result is that the Republicans have a lot more power over the result when controlling the Republicans than the Democrats.”
Democratic sen. Adam ship From California, his party’s attitude defended and said to NBC that the possible raise in health costs for “millions of Americans” would make insurance unaffordable in a “crisis”.
But ship also found that the Trump government has Congress approved expenses After employ, they essentially undermine the value of the Democrats to seek compromises at the budgets because the White House could refuse not to fulfill the wishes of the congress. The Trump administration has sent the congress around 4.9 billion dollars ” Pocket reserves With foreign aid, a process became that meant that expenses were held back for the congress without time before the previous financial year ended last month.
“We both have to tackle the crisis of the healthcare system and we need a written certainty in the law. I will not make a promise that they will not conclude a deal that we do,” said Schiff.
The television appearances showed that Democrats and Republicans are busy speaking Internet memes Against each other who have expressed concerns about whether it is possible to negotiate in good faith.
Vice -president Jd vance said that a video jeffries in a Sombrero and hefty mustache It was just a joke, although it occurred as a mocking person of Mexican origin when the Republicans insist that democratic demands would lead to illegal health expenditure for immigrants in the country, an assertion that the Democrats contest.
Immigrants in the United States are not entitled to any Federal health programsIncluding insurance through the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid. Nevertheless, hospitals receive Medicaid Medicaid for emergency care that they are obliged to ensure people who meet other requirements for the justification of Medicaid, but have no authorized immigration status.
However, the challenge is that the two parties seem to have a productive conversations in private, even if the Republicans insist that they are in conversation with their democratic colleagues.
On Friday, a Senate coordinates A Republican bill This would reopen the government, which did not correct the necessary 60 votes for the end of a filibuster. Johnson said that the house will close for the legislative business next week, a strategy that could oblige the Senate to work with the state financing law adopted by the Republicans of the Republicans of the Republicans.
“Johnson doesn’t mean that seriously” Chuck Schumer said on CBS. “He sent his all of his congress member home last week and sent at home this week. How will you negotiate?”
Majority leader of the Senate John Thune Sonntag said that the closure of discretionary expenses, the vacation of the federal employees and the requirements that other federal employees work without payment will take so long when the Democrats are not correct.
“You will get another chance on Monday to vote again,” said Thune in the “Sunday morning -futures” by Fox News Channel.
“And I hope some of them have a change in the heart,” he said.
