On October 10, about 660,000 U.S. federal employees paid their salary.The U.S. government not only delayed wages on this payday, but also fired many people.¡£ Walter, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, announced on social media that day that the federal government's layoffs began. Earlier, Trump and White House officials have repeatedly said that once the government shuts down, it will lay off employees, and the layoffs will be concentrated in "areas that tend to the Democratic Party", saying that Democrats should be responsible for this. But on the 11th,Moreover, government officials admitted that the code was wrong.¡£

How much? how much?

The White House office responsible for layoffs said the layoffs were "considerable" but did not say who were laid off. The media asked various US government departments for verification,The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Health and Public Services, the Ministry of Homeland Security and other major departments have confirmed:£¬They are cutting.According to incomplete statistics,In just seven departments, more than four thousand people were fired in one day.¡£

The Department of Health and Human Services laid off more than 1,000 employees overnight on the 10th, but revealed to ABC on the 11th that some people were laid off because of "code errors", saying that they "will eventually receive a notice to cancel the layoffs". There are media complaints,Notification of the "dismissal" is sent directly to each employee concerned, "dismissal" message is sent to the media, as to when the employee himself can receive notice of the dismissal, the U.S. government said "final", but did not say "final" is which day.

The U.S. government admits that these "mistakenly dismissed" people include epidemiologists who prevent and treat measles, Ebola and other diseases, medical staff who prevent and treat chronic diseases, and those responsible for compiling weekly reports on the incidence and mortality of various diseases in the United States.

In the United States, measles cases have risen dramatically this year, reaching a new high since 1992.This time relevant experts were dismissed and data statistics interrupted, which will inevitably further undermine the prevention of infectious diseases in the United States.

The U.S. Department of Education also took the opportunity to lay off 20% of its employees, especially the institutions responsible for ensuring the education of disabled children were "almost emptied". The Department of Homeland Security announced the dismissal of a group of employees responsible for network security and infrastructure security.

Under what criteria to cut jobs?

Trump said at a conference on the 10th that the cuts were ¡°primarily done by Democrats¡± because ¡°the government shutdowns they initiated¡± and he also referred to the round as ¡°Democratic cuts.¡±

¡°It really depends on who you¡¯re talking about, but overall, we¡¯ll take care of ourselves.¡£¡±Trump told reporters,"Some people really don't deserve to be taken care of, and we will treat them differently."

According to Political News Network, the White House administration's office instructed federal agencies to dismiss employees or projects that were "unconsistent with the president's priorities" when drawing up cuts.

The U.S. Government Employee Federation and the U.S. Labour Federation-Industrial Trade Union Federation, the two major trade unions, filed lawsuits on the case on the 10th and requested a federal court to order the end of the government's dismissal.

Two days later is military payday

Will the U.S. military pay wages?

The first payday became "downsizing day" and the next payday was just around the corner. October 15th is the payday of 1.3 million U.S. troops. Johnson, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, previously warned that if the "shutdown" crisis is not resolved before the 13th, he will have to default on military salaries from the 15th.

The latest news is that Trump said he had ordered the defense minister to ¡°use all available funds¡± to pay military wages during the government shutdown. Trump said he ¡°will not allow Democrats to threaten the security of the army and the whole country with dangerous government shutdowns.¡±

But what Trump didn't say is that in history, the salary of the US military was not affected by the government shutdown. At that time, even if the budget talks collapsed, the two parties would pass a separate bill to ensure that military salaries were paid on time.The U.S. government has "closed" twenty times in history, but the U.S. military is only due to pay two times, one in 1877 and one in 2019, exactly during Trump's last term.¡£

According to foreign media reports, the Trump administration may choose to ¡°misuse¡± military research funds to pay soldiers¡¯ salaries. But without legal guarantees only by ¡°removing the East Wall and replenishing the West Wall¡± and trying to make 1.3 million U.S. soldiers get their salaries on time can be imagined the difficulty. In 2019 it was in a similar situation that the government ¡°leaked¡± more than 50,000 Coast Guards, making them the first group of unpaid U.S. soldiers in more than a century.
