What are the reasons for the U.S. government's "shutdown"? Why did the Democratic Party choose to fight Trump to the end?

It can be said that the United States is in chaos now. The main reason is that the U.S. federal government has once again "closed down", and it has been going on for nearly two weeks. On the last day of last month, the U.S. government "shut down", which is the 14th time since 1980 that the U.S. government has been shut down. The most direct reason is just three words,"there is no money."Previously, the U.S. House had passed a provisional funding bill drafted by the Republicans to keep the federal government running funds until late November, but the bill was blocked in the Senate because of the Republican-Democratic negotiations that failed, and the Democratic Party advocated an extension of the PPA subsidy that expires at the end of this year, but the Republican side firmly disagreed and accused the Democratic Party of using the ¡°government shutdown¡± to deliberately ¡°rape¡± and ¡°hack¡± funding procedures.

With the government's "shutdown" code continuing to play, there is no doubt that the most pressing thing is now on the Republican side, the Democrat side, on the other hand. The Republican Party is anxious because the shutdown of the federal government has led to increasing conflicts in American society and seriously affected the daily lives of the American people. This has made people's complaints about the Trump administration increasingly serious.For example, due to the federal government's "shutdown", about 13,000 air traffic personnel and 50,000 U.S. Transportation Safety Agency employees were forced to continue working under a pay-out situation, which led to many air traffic workers to start taking out sick leave, which to a certain extent exacerbated the air traffic system "empowerment" problem, which resulted in large numbers of flights delayed across the U.S., causing widespread criticism from the industry and abroad.

In addition, because the federal government has no money, the wages of American soldiers may not be paid. The 15th of this month is the payday of American soldiers, and now the Trump administration is facing the risk of unpaid wages. It is conceivable that this will further aggravate the social contradictions in the United States, and the pressure of public opinion faced by the Trump administration will only increase. And this is exactly what the Democratic Party wants to see most, because only the greater the pressure of public opinion faced by the Trump administration will the Republican Party be most likely to make concessions on the Affordable Care Act issue and agree to extend billions of dollars of Affordable Care Act subsidies, which is why the Democratic Party dares to choose to tough the Trump administration. Recently, There are senior Democratic Congressional assistants who are more open-minded that as long as the public perception is in favor of the Democratic Party, they will not give in unless ¡°the aircraft falls from the sky.¡±In other words, if the plane does not fall from the sky, the Democratic Party will not give in, and the federal government will not be able to open the door.

In order to break the deadlock, Trump recently launched a big move and began large-scale layoffs. According to a court document released on the 10th, the White House Budget Office began mass layoffs of federal workers, with more than 4000 people expected to be laid off. At the same time, the Republican Party also began to attack the Democratic Party's statement that "no plane will fall from the sky, and the government will not open the door." White House Press Secretary Levitt and U.S. Department of Transportation Darn took the opportunity to accuse Democrats of "kidnapping public opinion." Levitt even bluntly said on social media,"This is one of the most disgusting remarks I have ever read."

Just as the Democratic Party chose to take on the Trump administration, there were actually some different voices within the Democratic Party. Some Democratic lawmakers were worried that the Democratic Party's choice to ignore the needs of people's livelihood and take on the Trump administration might get off the hook, because the federal government shutdown will definitely be temporary and will eventually reopen. By that time, even if the Democratic Party gets interests on the issue of the Affordable Care Act, it will also damage the party's national political image. Because when the Trump administration deliberately guides public opinion, the American people will not just shut down the federal government. The Republican Party will be blamed for the chaos in people's daily lives, and the Democratic Party will inevitably be affected. Looking at it this way, the Democratic Party is now using public opinion to challenge the Trump administration, which is equivalent to "injuring a thousand enemies and injuring 800."

In turn, the US federal government "closed" this time, in fact, also reflects two issues from the side: First, there are some flaws in the U.S. system.Since the U.S. President and the majority party in Congress often belong to different camps, and the two houses are separated, this makes the ruling party inevitably encounter opposition resistance in implementing some policies. Although the Republican Party currently has a majority in both the House and Senate, the advantage is not large, and the negotiations between the two parties have stalled; Secondly, the struggle between * and the Republican parties in the United States has become increasingly fierce, and the society is extremely torn apart. One side isLiberals emphasize public services and social security, while conservatives demand deficit reduction and spending reduction. If this conceptual difference is not resolved, it will only increase the risk of the U.S. government "closing down" again in the future. It is foreseeable that similar things will definitely happen again in the United States in the future.
