The U.S. government has been "shut down" for 19 days. When will the two parties put down their selfishness and ease their differences?

Due to the huge differences between the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States on core issues such as medical-related welfare spending, the Senate failed to pass a new interim appropriations bill before the end of the previous fiscal year on September 30, resulting in the federal government's use of funds to maintain normal operations.,"shutdown" began on October 1.

As of the 19th local time, the U.S. federal government's "shutdown" has lasted for 19 days.

The two parties in the United States still insist on their respective positions and accuse each other

Republican and Democratic leaders in the U.S. Congress responded to the interim appropriations bill,Their positions remain unchanged and blame each other.

On the 19th, Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said in an interview with the US media that he did not plan to recall House members to return to work before the government restarted. Johnson said that members in charge of appropriations have been busy day and night. They are not only negotiating within the party, but also communicating across parties to push for the finalization of the provisional appropriations bill as much as possible, but the Democratic Party has been "playing politics."

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson:I am firmly opposed to allowing MPs to return to Congress and engage in any affairs until the government restarts, until Democrats begin to do the right thing for the people.They (Democrats) are playing politics, and we must use all our influence to ensure they make the right choice.

House Democratic leader Hachim Jeffries said on the same day that Democrats still hold on to the issue of medical subsidies, saying Democrats were willing to negotiate with the Republicans, but the Republicans were no longer actively contacted after a meeting at the White House before the government "stopped".

House Democratic Leader Hachim Jeffries:We have repeatedly made it clear to our colleagues in the opposite party through public and private channels that we are willing to sit down and talk with them whenever, wherever and with whom, whether in the Capitol or back to the White House, with the aim of restarting the government.

House Democratic Leader Hachim Jeffries:But in the past few weeks, we have not received any response from the president or Republicans. They have been completely silent since the White House meeting.

The two sides are concerned about how long the U.S. government will stop.

Analysts and media believe that the central reason for the continued "stop" of the U.S. government is that the two parties are not stagnant on health insurance expenditure, which has made the provisional allocation bill impossible to pass.

On the other hand,Both parties are also using the "stop" to promote their respective political agendas, and there is no urgent will to end the "stop".

Some analysts pointed out that the Trump administration used "shutdown" to "streamline the government". This government "shutdown" provides an opportunity for the White House to fire more federal employees. According to reports, the White House Office of Management and Budget, which has previously promoted a series of layoffs and expenditure reduction policies, has been more active after the "shutdown"; The agency predicts that the "shutdown" of the government will lead to the reduction of more than 10,000 federal jobs.

The Democratic party, on the other hand, has used the "stop-down" to strengthen unity within the party. Analysts believe that the Democratic party's "hard-down" Republican party is its means of strengthening internal unity as a weak party. The Democratic party compromised with the Republican party on the allocation bill in March this year, leading to a sharp drop in the support rate within the party.

The US Newsweek website commentary says that for next year’s midterm elections, the Democratic Party needs to strengthen party cohesion and consolidate voter confidence through “painful resistance.” Republican House Speaker Johnson said yesterday that the Democrats “deliberately let the “stop” continue to please their “radical basic disc.”

In addition, some temporary emergency measures have led the Trump administration to believe that there is still room for the "shutdown" to continue. The BBC reported that the Trump administration has recently allocated funds to pay salaries to U.S. soldiers and maintain the operation of some key food items, temporarily eliminating some pressure points that were expected to lead to bipartisan negotiations, and the two parties 'hopes of resolving differences in the short term have become slim.
