US EditionGovernment Shutdown Reaches 36 Days; Longest in History
About 1.25 million federal employees affected as shutdown disrupts key services and could reduce economic growth by 2 percentage points in the fourth quarter, officials say.
- This past week the United States government entered its longest federal shutdown as Congress allowed funding to lapse, marking a historic milestone of dysfunction.
- A stalemate in Congress over health-care and spending priorities has driven the lapse, and budget manoeuvres to pay troops and partially fund food aid will likely run out before the end of November, with the shutdown nearing outlasting the House-passed Bill through Nov 21.
- About 600,000 federal employees are working without pay and 650,000 federal employees furloughed, straining services while the Trump administration will restore half of November's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programme benefits using a $4.65 billion contingency fund for 42 million Americans.
- Businesses and taxpayers face likely delays receiving refunds as services slow, with the Congressional Budget Office projecting the shutdown will cut growth and cost billions in output.
- Flight disruptions have intensified as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned he would shut airspace if unsafe, ahead of the Nov 30 travel peak, following recent delays.
