我见 我思 我闻

美国政府会关门吗

拜登和民主党团队本週在国会山庄将面临前所未有之严峻考验，包括是否能让联邦政府继续运作， 或是関门之命运。

根据最新的数字， 国会需要通过四万亿之预算， 是件十分艰难之任务 ，而且 共和党将会阻止预算案而使联邦政府停摆。

由参议院通过的万二千亿基建法案已被眾议院安排在本週四才进行表决， 对於法案中有关社会安全救助也在民主党内有争议 ，共和党更声称要阻挡上调赤字预算之表决。

参议院今晚将投票表决把政府预算延到十二月三日， 民主党目前只有几天时间才解决预算赤字上限之问题。

佩罗西议长週日在访问中坚定表示， 我不会把那些无法通过的法案提交国会。

刚从大卫营回到白宫的拜登总统 ，他将在本週使尽全力来应对预算案之挑战。

美国联邦政府是否会关门， 这将取决於国会诸公之智慧和能力了。

Is The Federal Government Going To Close Down?

President Biden is entering the seismic week of a legislative agenda fight for his budget.

The vote on his $1.2 trillion senate-passed infrastructure has been delayed until Thursday and Republicans are determined on blocking the raise the debt ceiling proposal.

If the government funding bill is ended this week without resolution, the federal government will shut down. Democrats will have three days to fund the government and there is no backup plan B at the moment. The short term option could run through early December or a matter of weeks.

The $3.5 trillion spending bill represents the most ambitious effort for the Biden administration to deploy the power of government to remake the economy in decades.

Amid the resurgence of the pandemic and a messy withdrawal from Afghanistan means that success on Capitol Hill is now more important for Biden’s political future.

Recent polls show that the majority of Americans favor the infrastructure spending on roads, bridges and transportation. Education, care of the elderly, healthcare and fight for climate change issues also enjoy wide support.

Today we are facing so many challenges. We want both parties to work together to solve the many problems facing our country.
