(San Francisco) The consequences of budgetary paralysis in the United States will be more and more harmful, with the prospect of massive layoff of civil servants, have once again warned Republican leaders and a Donald Trump advisor.


Posted at 1:40 p.m.

This threat is brandished by the president himself from the start, Wednesday, of this budgetary blocking, the republican majority of which and the democratic opposition are referred to the responsibility.

This “Shutdown”, which will enter on Monday in its second week, still shows no sign of appeasement.

No discussion took place between the main leaders of the congress from their unsuccessful meeting at the White House on Monday, according to a senior Democratic official. His camp refuses to give in on the crucial issue of health insurance subsidies.

“If the president considers that the negotiations do not take absolutely anywhere, then the layoffs will begin,” threatened Kevin Hassett, the main economic adviser of Donald Trump, interviewed on CNN on Sunday.

“We keep the hope that with a new start at the start of the week, we can convince Democrats that common sense is to avoid such layoffs,” he added.

For his part, the chief of the Republican majority in the Senate, John Thune, acknowledged that the two camps were still “deadlocked” and hinted that more American workers were going to pay the price.

“This will become embarrassing,” he implied on Fox News, while confirming that behind-the-scenes discussions continued on a possible extension of “Obamacare” subsidies, the health insurance program for popular classes.

How long can blocking, unprecedented for seven years, extend? “As long as Democrats will want,” said John Thune.

In March, when a threat of budgetary paralysis already hovered, the Democrats had sold the former, a minority of them agreeing to vote a republican resolution now these subsidies for only six months.

“If the Republicans continue to refuse to extend the tax aid” of the Obamacare, “tens of millions of taxpayers will undergo a spectacular increase” of health costs, said on NBC Hakeem Jeffries, head of the Democrat minority in the House of Representatives.

Hundreds of thousands of “non-ending” officials have been unemployed since Wednesday and have not received a salary. Unless they are dismissed, they should see their situation regularized at the end of this blockage, a very unpopular situation which had lasted 35 days during the last episode, under the first mandate of Donald Trump.
