The federal government has once again been shutdown in America, due to which a big political storm has arisen across America. Republican leaders have accused Democrats that they are preventing the budget passing on the condition of providing free health services to illegal migrants. At the same time, Democrats say that Republicans are making necessary expenses a matter of political debate. In such a situation, the statement of the White House Press Secretary Caroline Lewitt and the US Vice President JD Vance have now come out in this case. The two leaders fiercely targeted the Democrats leaders and blamed their policy for this shutdown.
What did Caroline Levit say?
The Press Secretary of the White House said that Caroline Levit said that Republican MPs had passed a clean and direct bill which would keep the government funding till 21 November. This is the same bill that Democrats approved even six months ago, just in view of inflation, it was made a little change. Still the Democrat Senator rejected it.
He further said that when Democrats were in power, he passed such bills 13 times. But this time he did not allow the bill to pass because the Republican Party is against giving free health care to people (Eligel Immigrants) who came to America illegally. Lewit said that we do not want American taxpayers to spend on people who have come here by breaking the laws. The US is already in a loan of $ 37 trillion.
Now know what JD Vance said?
Vice President JD Vance also accused Democrats in this case. He said that Democrats say that they want to reduce the prices of medicines. When the President tried to make medicines cheap by talking to pharmaceutical companies, Democrats did not help. Now they are shutting down the government because we do not want to provide free health care of billions of dollars to illegal migrants.
Vance further stated that some Democrat MPs and most Republican were in favor of this funding bill, but a section of the Democrat party, including leaders Chak Shumar and Alexandria Okasio-coortage, put a hurdle on it.
Understand why the work of America government stopped?
Significantly, the functioning of the US government has stopped. Republican MPs had introduced a bill to fund the government until 21 November, but that too could not be passed. Democrat MPs opposed the bill, after which the government funding stopped for the first time in the second term of the Trump government and shutdown.
What is its effect on common people?
If we talk about the common people of this shutdown, then many essential services have stopped in America due to the closure of the government’s functioning. Millions of government employees are working without salary or have been sent on leave. Passport services, visa processing, many health and education programs can also be affected.
