The federal government is heading toward a shutdown this weekend that will disrupt many services, squeeze workers and roil politics.
The U.S. government appears on its way toward a shutdown this weekend, a potentially dire consequence of a political stalemate over congressional spending — which would would disrupt many services, financially squeeze federal workers and shake confidence in the national economy.
Congress is required to pass 12 different spending bills to fund agencies across the government ahead of the start of the new federal fiscal year, which begins on Oct. 1. But some Republicans in the House, where that party has the majority, have taken issue with the additional funding for Ukraine. They’ve also argued that Congress needs to include harsher border security measures in its spending packages for the upcoming fiscal year, and want to slash government spending for many federal agencies.
On Thursday, 27 members of the House Freedom Caucus signed a letter that asked McCarthy to detail his plan to address various concerns, including possible funding for Ukraine and implement further spending reductions. The disruption lasted 35 days, through the holiday season, but was also only a partial government shutdown because Congress had passed some appropriations bills to fund parts of the government.
People applying for government services like clinical trials, housing and food assistance, passports and more, for example, could see delays. Access to services on bases could become limited, including to health care – with elective surgeries and dental visits likely being postponed. “Military training, especially related to safety and security, will continue,” Smith said, adding that work on the new ammunition pier would not be impacted because the project is already paid for.Evan Gost, a member of Team Darkhorse — the Laguna Hills committee that adopted the 3rd Battalion/5th Marines at Camp Pendleton in 2010 — said that will happen. That committee raises money and plans activities to support the Marines and their families.
U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Levi Read, meanwhile, said all essential operations will continue, including search and rescue, oil spill responses and keeping ports open. “Indirect effects are more difficult to accurately measure and, therefore, are often not included in estimates of economic effects of shutdowns,” the report said, “However, some research suggests that these effects can be significant.”
