Overseas network, December 3 (Xinhua local time) on Thursday (2nd), the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass a short-term Government Appropriation Bill, which will extend the financial support of the federal government until February 18 to avoid government shutdown.
According to CNN, the final vote of the U.S. House of Representatives on the 2nd was 221 in favor and 212 against. Republican representative Adam & middot; Adam kinzinger was the only Republican to vote for the resolution. It is reported that the bill will be submitted to the Senate next, and the risk of the shutdown of the federal government remains.
This Friday (3rd) is the deadline for the U.S. federal government to obtain funds. If the financial support is stopped, some federal government agencies will face the risk of closing down due to budget problems. According to previous reports, leaders of both parties in the US Congress recently reached an agreement on the above Appropriation Bill, but a small number of Republican senators still threatened that the bill would not be passed before the deadline.
The bill will provide funds for U.S. government agencies until February 18. It must be passed by the Senate and house of Representatives before midnight on February 3 to avoid the shutdown of the federal government. The Democratic Party hopes to gain more time to vote on about $2 trillion in tax, climate and social spending bills and raise the U.S. debt ceiling in December.
The report points out that due to the difficulty of reaching an agreement on funds by Congress, the U.S. federal government closed briefly at the end of 2018 and early 2019. According to the data of the Congressional Budget Office, the two government shutdowns delayed nearly $18 billion in federal spending, resulting in a 0.2% and 0.1% reduction in the GDP of the United States in the first quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2018, respectively.
