On October 6, local time, the U.S. Senate once again voted on appropriations bills proposed by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party to end the government's "shutdown", but failed to pass them. The U.S. government's "shutdown" will continue.

From 1 October at 0 a.m. to now, the U.S. federal government has stopped for almost seven years, lasting six days, and is about to enter the seventh day.

The White House estimates that the government's "shutdown" causes economic losses of more than $15 billion a week.

Trump before the vote.

On the eve of the U.S. Senate vote on the allocation bill, President Trump said in the White House Oval Office that he was willing to reach a ¡°right deal¡± with the Democrats, adding that ¡°we are talking to the Democrats.¡±

¡÷ The Associated Press reported earlier on the 6th that on the sixth day of the government's shutdown, Trump said he was willing to negotiate with the Democratic Party on a health care agreement

Trump's statement was seen by the US media as a signal that the Republican Party had given in on the issue of medical insurance subsidies that led to the "shutdown" of the federal government. The Democratic Party has always called for the extension of the premium tax credit clause in the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") to reduce the medical insurance expenses of about 22 million people; while the Republican Party opposes increasing related fiscal expenditures. Differences between the two sides led to the U.S. Senate's failure to pass a new interim appropriations bill before government funds were exhausted on September 30, and the U.S. government officially closed its doors.

However, Trump's speech on the 6th quickly received a negative response from the Democratic Party.

Democrats quickly denied:

To negotiate, first agree to our request.

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Schumer responded that he had not held any relevant negotiations with the Republican Party and stressed that the Republican Party would need to agree to maintain medical insurance subsidies before Democrats could negotiate.

In a statement, Schumer said: ¡°Trump¡¯s statements are not true, but if he is eventually ready to work with the Democrats, we will sit at the negotiating table.¡±In addition, Schumer said, Democrats have been calling on Trump and Congressional Republicans to work with the Democrats on healthcare issues for months.

The funding bill has not been passed

Trump is ¡°changing¡± again.

After Trump issued a "relaxing" statement, the U.S. Senate's vote on the appropriation bill to stop the government's "shutdown" on the same day was also released, but the result was still not passed.

Trump then returned to the position before the "shutdown", once again stressing that the Democratic Party needs to solve the issue of the government "stop".

Trump tweeted: ¡°We are happy to work with the Democrats on their failed health policy or anything, but first they need to reopen our government.

Around Health Insurance Subsidies

The "succession battle" between the two parties

This "mouth battle" between Trump and Schumer also exposed the key node of the dispute between the Republic and *, whether to allocate funds first to end the "shutdown" of the federal government or to ensure the extension of medical insurance subsidies first.

Democrats are currently insisting on extending the ¡°Obama Medical Reform¡± reinforced subsidy, which expires at the end of this year, and revoking federal medical subsidy cuts in the ¡°big and beautiful¡± tax and spending bill passed in July this year. Republicans are seeking to pass a temporary scheme to keep the federal government operating until November 21. Republicans say they can only discuss medical subsidy policies with Democrats after the government is ¡°reopened.¡±

"Lockout" enters the seventh day

"Loss of approximately $15 billion per week"

From 1 October at 0 a.m. until now, the U.S. federal government has stopped for almost seven years, lasting six days, and is about to enter the seventh day.

Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council of the White House, said that the government's "shutdown" is cutting the economic output of the United States at a rate of about $15 billion per week.

In an interview with the media, Hashit cited the White House internal report that the ¡°shutdown¡± would reduce U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) by about 0.1 percentage points per week. If it lasts for a month, it would lead to about 43,000 additional unemployment and reduce consumer spending by $30 billion.

About 750,000 federal employees were forced to suspend paid leave due to the government¡¯s ¡°closure¡± and other employees, such as the military and border patrols, who could not leave their jobs, were temporarily ¡°unpaid¡±.The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics failed to publish monthly employment statistics as planned on May 3. Economic analysts believe that the U.S. is currently facing a complex economic situation of weak employment and persistent inflation, and the ¡°stop¡± of important data statistics will affect the U.S. Federal Reserve Committee¡¯s judgment whether the economy needs stimulation.

In addition, some industries will be severely affected by the "shutdown". Jeff Freeman, CEO of the American Tourism Association, said a one-week "shutdown" would cost the tourism industry $1 billion. The National Park Conservancy estimates that national parks were closed during the "shutdown" period, losing $1 million in ticket revenue a day, and surrounding merchants lost $77 million a day.

Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase, pointed out that the continued government "shutdown" will not only affect economic productivity, but may also have an impact on market sentiment. The "shutdown" is likely to pose risks to the labour market and consumer spending due to threats of layoffs and actual job losses.
