联邦政府关门?

如果国会在今天午夜前无法达成联邦政府之预算案， 美国政府可能再次面临关门之命运。 数百万联邦员工将无法领到薪水， 真是令人十分颓丧和无奈之事。

共和党籍的国会议长麦卡锡昨天週五仍然无法说服同党人士达成协议 ， 他同时将面对民主党议员要他下台之威胁。

假如联邦政府停摆， 立即对空中交通及政府之许多运作受到重大影响。

国会参眾两院今天将继续开会来面对这项危机 。

对执政的民主党而言， 目前之预算和共和党之想法相去甚远， 尤其是在边界安全方面， 共和党主张严防非法移民进入。

早在2019， 川普时代联邦政府曾经关闭了一个月之久。

我们要非常遗憾地指出， 今天政府面临之问题非常之多， 主要是两党信念不同， 形成立法上之重大歧见， 於是造成对国家之极大伤害。

希望今天午夜前能够达成协议， 不要给领导世界之大国带来对世界之伤害。

      The shutdown of the Federal Government looms

If Congress fails to reach a federal budget before midnight today, the U.S. government may once again face the challenge of shutting down. It is very frustrating  that millions of federal employees would not be able to receive their paychecks.

Republican Speaker of Congress McCarthy was still unable to persuade his colleagues to reach an agreement yesterday. He is facing  threats to step down from Democratic lawmakers.

If so,  it would immediately have a significant impact on air traffic control and many government operations.

The House and Senate will continue to meet today to face this crisis.

For the Democratic Party in power, the current budget is far from the proposal of the Republicans, especially in terms of border security. The Republicans iterate to implement strict policies on illegal immigration.

Back in 2019, the federal government was shut down for a month during the Trump administration.

We would like to point out that there are so many problems the government is facing today, mainly due to the different beliefs of the two parties, which led to major divergence in the legislature, and also has caused great harm to the country.
