US federal government shuts down after Senate fails to pass funding plans

Government shuts down: The federal government has officially shut down for the first time in six years after a deadlocked Congress failed to pass a funding measure to keep the lights on — and no one inside the Capitol knows what will happen next.

• Blame game: Once the funding deadline passed, Republicans and Democrats immediately began pointing fingers at one another for the shutdown. Republicans insist Democrats need to simply agree to extend current funding for another seven weeks. Democrats are demanding any funding bill contain an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act premium subsidies.

• What’s at stake? Every government shutdown differs, but functions that are critical to protect lives and property are typically deemed essential and stay open. Previous shutdowns canceled immigration hearings and delayed federal lending to homebuyers and small businesses, among other impacts.

Ah ah, aren't the Republicans in control of the Senate?

I know this happens when a party is at the White House (so to speak) and the opposition controls Capitol Hill.

Wàhálà nor dey finish for dat America sef!

Even as the Republicans control the Senate, yet they don't take every shit from Trump. But down here, what we have is rubber-stamp Senate. Even if Tinubu wants to borrow us to stupor, they will approve. Tuehhhhhh

Bravo to the USA. Democracy checks and balances at work. Having the majority in all separate organs of government doesn't guarantee tyranny. You've got to talk to the opposition unless a party has a supermajority.

The debt is owed to the US Federal Reserve. Those you mentioned are just a tiny percentage. Secondly, the debts are denominated in their currency.

Do you know the amount Nigeria owes CBN? The Nigerian government has relied on "Ways and Means" advances from the CBN to finance budget deficits. As at December, 2023 the debt was N7.3 trillion

AMERICANS WILL FIND SOLUTIONS:
The Americans were cajoled by the Mr Trump -and those around him,during the elections,now they can see the difference of having someone who said he loves to be a King,than making America the Best Country In The World.
Even Democracy they were once Sharing and Spreading to other Nations and Continents -is Now in Limbo because of someone's Pride and Arrogance in Power.
Disruptive Leaders- can add anything to what you have,for you Cannot Be Making Enemies Everywhere,but with Diplomacy,you can Win back everything!
President Kennedy, Reagan and Obama, even Biden- All did Make America Great indeed.
Now Americans can see the Difference but trust them, they will surely hand over their feelings to the White House in Mid- Term Elections - because you can be blaming others,since you are now the President and you Control the Congress!
America Is Already Great- Democrats should refraim it this way,
•Make America Best Place On Earth 🌎 -(MABEP) .
God Bless America.

Is it coincidental that 48 hours after he gave Palestinians 48hr deadline for US proxy, Isreal " to finish the job" in the continued genocide in Gaza, his own government was shut down? 🤔 It can only be the God of the powerless and vulnerable.

Will he blame Putin, China , Hamas or Antifa for this too?

He will rather give tax t donations to billionaires, fund the genocide in Gaza and shut down his government than fund Obamacare that gives subsidies to his vulnerable citizens.

This is eedi. He has lost it completely and I pray he gets it back before all the babies, children and women in Gaza are completely killed by his proxy war on Palestinians.
