Since the Senate was supposed to vote late in the evening of Monday for the fifth time in the STOPGAP bill to support the government open until November 21, Kevin Hassett, the leading economic adviser to President Donald Trump, claimed that the democrats were “reasonable”.

Trump said that he would use a stop to dismiss thousands of federal workers who are usually produced during the closure of the government.
Democrats say that they will not support the bill if he does not consider subsidies of the law on affordable medical care, which will expire at the end of 2025, as well as the reduction of the Medicaid, carried out in accordance with the legislation of Trump in the second period.
Hassett told CNBC that the president and the best advisers are closely monitoring the Senate, who should vote again on Monday under the bill on financing the government. Hassett said that if this bill fails, Trump’s team in the oval office will soon take “sharp measures”.

“If the Democrats refuse to keep the government open, then perhaps the efforts that we make to make the government more effective are even accelerating,” Hassett said, in response to the question of the dismissal of federal workers.
From the White House on Sunday, Trump accused the Democrats. “It depends on them,” he said. “Someone quit, this is from the Democrats.” The administration threatened the dismissal within a few days, but officials offered various terms for any action.
But there were few signs of an inevitable breakthrough.
Negotiations on the termination that began on October 1 was scattered at the end of last week. While the Republicans control both chambers of the Congress, they need support from several democrats to get 60 votes necessary for the costs of expenses in order to clean the Senate.

Democrats insist that their requirements for health policy be added to a bill on expenses, while the Republicans want these issues to be discussed after the government is again open. One of the potential decisions is for the Republicans to promise a vote on health retirement by the end of the year, but so far Republicans hate to do this.
Stay outside the city
The Republicans of the House of Representatives say that they will remain in Washington until the closure ends, which forces the Senate Democrats to complain, that the key partner in negotiations is completely absent. The leaders of the Republican Party say that they have nothing to do until the Senate passes Stopg, which they have already approved.
The closure closed the government outside the main services, leaving hundreds of thousands of Americans without payment and limited access to public services. Legislators can feel more heat, since federal workers begin to miss the payment on October 10, and the military remain without a salary on October 15.

Until now, the Republicans in the Senate have focused on the fact that five more democrats explode with the leader of the Democratic Party of Senate Chuck Schumer, and vote for a draft law on a stop without lines, which leaves the government open until November 21.
“All we need to do is to have five more democrats to vote“ yes, ”said the leader of the majority in the Senate John Tun, the Republican from South Dakota, on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures. “Here you need to separate from your leader and act correctly for the country.”
Republicans use the approach to carrots and a shaft, offering soft promises of discussion Obamacare or ACA, on the one hand, on the one hand, while threatening mass layouts and the abolition of projects on the other. The specific goals of the pressure campaign include Gary Peters from Michigan, Zhanna Shahin from New Gampshire and Maggie Hassan, as well as senators representing a large number of federal workers, such as Mark Warner from Virginia and Tim Kane.

Moderate ordinary Republicans act as mediation for moderate democrats trying to convince them to open the government. Negotiations in the middle of the week, led by senators who want to see the extended form of Obamacare, such as Mike's rounds in South Dakota and Susan Collins from the state of Menn, collapsed on Thursday evening, but will probably resume on Monday.
Democrats say that promises are not enough
But the Democrats say that they will not just accept the promise of negotiations until December 31 on Obamacare, in search of a more significant concession. Republicans do not even want to promise a vote on this issue at the ward and the Senate, saying that the problem is too complicated to weigh now.
The speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson said that in the CBS 'ObSE The Nation, there may be 400 opinions in the house with 435 members what to do on Obamacare, while Thune mentioned the “reforms” that must be made in the “lack of” healthcare program.

In 2017, the Republicans tried and could not cancel the ACA, and they did not say exactly what changes in the system they would look for. Conservatives still hope that they can cancel the popular law and allow the return of highly paid healthcare plans with a limited coating, which, according to them, will reduce medical inflation.
Senator Ruben Gallego, a democrat from Arizona, questioned the position of the Republicans that this issue was difficult and will take time. “They, of course, can move quickly when they need to reduce tax. They, of course, can move quickly when they want to support the president, ”he said on Sunday in the CNN Union.
Obamacare is not the only main demand that the Democrats do. In recent days, they emphasized the question of the refusal of the administration to spend money allocated by Congress. Democrats say that the key to any agreement is provisions that will not allow the budget administration of the White House to cancel projects and close the agencies financed by Congress.
“We need both to resolve the healthcare crisis, and we need some written guarantee in the law – I will not fulfill the promise that they are not going to abandon any transaction that we conclude,” said California Senator Adam Shiff on the NBC “Meeting with the Press”.
