Washington (AP) – Republican and Democratic legislators have made only a few public signs of meaningful negotiations to break a dead end to reopen the federal government when closing ended on Monday.
When President Donald Trump was asked on Sunday evening when the federal employee was fired, he said reporters: “It is just taking place and it is due to the Democrats.” He declined to answer a question of which agencies are subject to the cuts.
The possibility of layoffs escalates an already tense situation in which legislators in Washington had difficulty finding similarities and building mutual trust. Managers of both parties bet that the public mood has swung on the way and on the other hand puts pressure on the cave.
The spokesman for the House of Representatives Mike Johnson, R-La.
It is not expected that the house will take part in a session this week and focus on attention to the Senate to take the lead for a deal in the congress conducted by Republicans. But even with the legislators of the house, the Republican and Democratic leaders held almost daily briefings when they frame their arguments and try to shift the guilt for closure.
Democrats insist on renewing subsidies to cover health insurance costs for millions of households, while Trump wants to preserve the existing output level, since he believes that the Democrats have to be endangered due to the jobs and the federal infrastructure and energy projects.
The patient situation comes in a moment of troubling economic uncertainty. While the US economy has grown further this year, the attitude has slowed down and inflation remains increasing because the import tax of the Republican President created a number of disorders for companies and affect confidence in its leadership. At the same time, it is recognized that the annual budget deficit of almost 2 trillion US dollars is not financially sustainable.
The democratic leader of the house, Hakeem Jeffries from New York, among those who appear in the Sunday news shows, said that there have been no discussions with Republican leaders since their meeting of the White House on September 29. Since Republicans, including Trump, “breastfed the radio.”
The Trump administration sees the closure as an opening to realize the budget more power. Several officials say that they will save money because the workers imposed thousands of government employees through the introduction of constant work cuts, a tactic that has never been used before.
Although it would be Trump’s choice to shorten jobs, he believes that he can blame the Democrats because of the closure.
The Democratic Senator Adam Schiff from California defended his party’s attitude to close and said that the possible boost in health costs for millions of Americans would make insurance unaffordable in a “crisis”.
But ship also found that the Trump government stopped spending in the congress. This essentially undermines the value of the Democrats, who try to apply for compromises from the budget, since the administration could block the money expenditure from any deal. The Trump administration sent the congress around 4.9 billion US dollars into the so -called pocket reserves for foreign aid, a process that meant that the money was held back for the congress without time before the previous financial year ended in the past 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 you will not lose any deal we will do,” said Schiff.
The television appearances showed that Democrats and Republicans are busy talking to each other who are working 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 that Jeffries put in a sombrero and a stout mustache was simply a joke, although it occurred as a mocking man Mexican descent when the Republicans insist that the democratic demands would lead to illegal health spending for immigrants in the country.
Immigrants in the United States are illegally entitled to federal health programs, including insurance companies provided by the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid. Nevertheless, hospitals receive Medicaid refunds for emergency care. You are obliged.
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 gap voted to advance a republican draft law that would reopen the government, the necessary 60 votes to end a filibuster in the 100-member chamber.
The majority leader of the Senate, John Thune from South Dakota, said on Sunday that the closure of discretionary editions, the vacation of the federal employees and the requirements that other federal employees work without payment, as long as the Democrats are not.
“You will get another chance on Monday to vote again,” said Thune. “And I hope some of them have a change in the heart.”
