D-5 for the adoption of the US budget. Donald Trump suddenly increased auctions on Thursday in his budget confrontation with the democratic opposition, threatening to say goodbye to public officials if Congress does not vote for a finance law within five days.
He accused the opposition of wanting to finance medical care for immigrants in an irregular situation with federal money.
The challenges of this political-financial struggle are heavy for each camp. In just over a year they will be held in the mid -period elections, during which the majority in Congress, now Republican, will be put into play.
September 30 is the deadline to adopt a budget, even temporary, and avoid a “closure”, a federal state paralysis.
Republican Russell Vought, director of the Budget Office (OMB) of the White House, asked federal agencies to design plans to reduce workforce for employees who work in programs that do not have current funds, or a source of external financing, and that “are not consistent with the priorities of the President” Trump, according to a letter from which AFP had a copy.
The Membb memorandum indicates that any reduction made after the financing date would be permanent.
“Memory politician”
Donald Trump rejects any meeting with the leaders of the Democratic minority in Congress provided they are not classified with their arguments.
In the case of “closing”, it is said that a large part of federal services stop, with hundreds of thousands of unemployed technical officials, an air traffic traffic, but also strong disturbances in the payment of many social assists.
Republicans have a short majority for the two Congress cameras, the House of Representatives and the Senate, but due to parliamentary regulations, the Republican Party will have to negotiate with the Democrats to obtain the votes of at least seven senators.
Breakfast
Democrats in particular require that Republicans restore hundreds of billions of dollars in health expenses.
The conservatives, on the other hand, argue that their expenses plan for seven weeks, financing the government until the end of November, is the only one on the table.
If the Congress adopts a budget bill before the deadline, “the additional steps described in this email will not be necessary,” said Memb Memorandum.
The Democrats, who so far have failed to articulate a truly shocking response to the floast of Donald Trump’s drastic decisions, are abused in the surveys.
They see in this confrontation an opportunity to present the billionaire president as a friend of the rich, determined to cut social benefits.
Republicans trust a security and sovereigntist message, while they promise tax cuts, at a time when the labor market is deteriorating.
Americans express a marked skepticism in opinion opinion, even an open hostility to Donald Trump’s protectionist policy.
