Shatdown's disease

The US Senate did not support the bill on the extension of financing the government, the Voice of America reports . As a result, federal departments should now send most of the employees on vacation. This situation is called Shutdown.

In the United States, the budget year begins in October. In the fall of 2017, the budget bill was not adopted. Government financing is supported by resolutions lasting several weeks.

A few hours before midnight, when the term of the previous extension expired, a vote was carried out on an approved House of Representatives to a new bill. However, he could not gain the required 60 votes. Most democrats voted against voting against. Among the opponents of the bill were also several Republicans.

Democrats refused to support the resolution, demanding measures to protect children of illegal migrants from deportation due to the abolition of the relevant program by President Donald Trump.

Trump accused the Democratic of protecting illegal migrants of worrying it more than the country's security. "Democrats are much more concerned about illegal migrants than our great military and security on the southern border. They could easily go to an agreement, but instead decided to play a Shutdown policy," the president on Twitter wrote .

This is the first Shutdown in the history of the United States in the conditions when one party controls both the White House and both chambers of the Congress. The previous stopping of the government occurred in the fall of 2013 . It lasted 16 days.

In the situation, Shutdown will continue to work most of the military, rescuers, officials who provide emergency medical care, national security, operation of electric networks, flight safety, etc. However, in institutions related to the areas of health, defense and transport, only half of the employees will come to work. The remaining departments will be closed.
