Washington – Washington goes to Closing the government The evening on Tuesday, with a small number of signs, cannot be released due to the fact that the Democrats and Republicans fall into the struggle for state expenses.
The democratic leadership on the Capitol Hill insists on expanding the tax benefits of the law on affordable medical care as part of the package for financing the government. At least seven democratic votes are necessary in the Senate to pass Semindel bill This cleaned the house last week.
But the republican lawmakers and the White House rejected this proposal, and senior officials in the Trump administration threatened to use unique legal bodies provided during the closure of the government for behavior yet. More mass dismissals of federal workersField
The two -party leadership of the Congress met with President Trump in the White House on Monday afternoon in the last minute effort to prevent the crisis. But not one of the parties went to the meeting with the expectations of the breakthrough. On the contrary, the republican leaders in the Chamber informed the Republican Party Assembly to plan to return to work next week and said that on Wednesday they would hold a press conference, waiting for the closure of the government.
“We are not going to support the partisan bill on the expenses of the Republicans, which continues to adore medical services for daily Americans, a period, a complete stop,” said the leader of the minority of houses Hakim Jeffris (DN.Y.) on Monday.

Vice -President of JD Vance said that, in his opinion, the country is “going to close”, marking democratic calls for tax benefits for healthcare, an “absurd” requirement, which draws up an “justification for the closure of the national government”.
“You do not use your political disagreements as a lever so as not to pay our troops,” Vance said. “This is exactly what they offer.”
When the government closes, the law requires that all insignificant public services stop, demanding that most federal workers continue their leave or work without payment. The main services, such as the functions of national security and air traffic control, are not affected.
On the eve of the meeting, Trump told reporters that he hopes that the Democrats would agree to “keep our country open” before starting criticism of their proposals.
“They will have to do some things because their ideas are not very good,” Trump said. “They are very bad for our country. So we will see how it will work. ”
But the leader of the minority in the Senate Chuck Schumer (Dn.y.) said that, in his opinion, his message begins to resonate with the president after their meeting on Monday afternoon.
“We have very large differences in relation to health care and their ability to cancel any budget with which we agree, through cancellation and through thinking,” Schumer said. “I think that for the first time the president heard our objections and heard why we need a bicom -party bill. Their bill does not have one yota of a democratic contribution. This is never as we did before. ”
“We made some proposals to the president,” Schumer added. “Ultimately, he is making decisions.”
Schumer collided widespread mockery from the inside of his party In March, after the coup of the course during the last opening of the choice, then to support the constant decision of the Trump administration to finance the government in the midst of aggressive cleaning of the federal labor force.
At this moment, Sumer was afraid that the closure could accelerate dismissal. But Schumer is currently defiantly, despite the renewable threat of dismissal, after the White House management and budget department has spread last week, sending federal agencies to release workers on discretionary projects that lose financing after October 1.
“This is an attempt to intimidate,” Schumer said in response to a memorandum. “Donald Trump dismisses federal workers from the first day – not for management, but to scare. There is nothing new in this and has nothing to do with the financing of the government. ”

However, Schumer began Assessing his meeting On Monday afternoon, according to the prospects of a permanent resolution, which will actually delay the stop for a week, briefly expanding state funding in order to continue negotiations.
The market markets had a chance of stopping take off above 70% By the end of the day on Monday.
Speaking to Fox News on Monday, press secretary Caroline Livitt, press secretary of the White House, said that the president’s position was a “reasonable and sound task”, urging the Democrats to continue financing the military and its veterans.
“All we ask for is a sensible, pure financing resolution – a constant decision – to keep the government open,” Livitt said. “This is a bill that ensures government financing at the same levels as today, just adapted for inflation.”
“Thus, the Democrats have no good reason to vote against this,” she added. “The president gives the leadership of the democrats the last chance to be reasonable.”
But Jeffris rejected Litta as “diluted from reality” in an interview with podcast.
“In what world will be some rational American after we gave lectures throughout the year about this so-called mandate that the Republican Party has in this country and their full control over the government in Washington, because since the Democrats do not want to break the medical care of the American people as part of the republican health crisis that we are closing the government?” Jeffris said.
“Nobody buys this,” he continued, “outside the parts of the magician base, which mainly, in the visible one, will buy everything that Donald Trump must trade.”
The leader of the majority in the Senate John Tong (RS.D.) said that he would give a vote to finance the government on Tuesday afternoon.
“This is clean and just hostage,” Tong said on Monday. According to him, it passes or fails, “to the Democrats.”
