In Congress, time is running out to reach a budget agreement. The Republicans require a reduction in spending of 40 billion dollars, 7 billion more than what the Democrats propose, relateThe Washington Post. For now, the situation is blocked and, unless an agreement is reached by Friday at midnight local time, Washington will have its first shutdown since 1996.
The U.S. government could indeed find themselves paralyzed when budgets are not voted, says The New York Times. Gradually, the government departments will be forced to suspend their activities. By Saturday, several federal museums could not open it. It is not yet possible to know exactly what services will be affected, even if he does not doubt that the key sectors - military, police, fire, prisons and the air traffic control, in particular - will not be affected.
