Government shutdown only a few hours away in the US

 

A new vote is being held in the US House of Representatives among indications of a government shutdown beginning at midnight on Saturday." 

 

Breaking news one of the republican's house speaker Kevin McCarthy is trying to have an agreement of having a 45-day respite. The news says that this is the fourth shutdown to occur in the past decade. This isn't a good sign as this can affected marriage and air travel in the future. In fact, most people who work with the government won't be paid in the process.  

  

The republicans control the house as they have a small advantage of the democrats as they have one seat only. Kevin planned on having a 45-day continuing solution to stop the gap and keep the agencies open so congress can find a new bill.  

 

McCarthy also refused to take up the offer of funding bill as the bill includes $6bn for Ukraine. On top of that the house of republican's short-term funding had stricter policies as 21 members were failed to pass.  

 

The government shutting down has made everyone worry and creating more problems than one. Museums, national parks, research facilities, and many more are expected to shut down because of this. The last time this was shut down was 2019.
