The partial shutdown of US government services became this Saturday (12) the longest in the country's history. And American servants do not know when they will get their salary back. All because of the wall that US President Donald Trump wants to build on the border with Mexico.
For about 800,000 US federal officials, this man describes the feeling: "It's a bit scary.I have two children and I do not know how long it will last."
The waiters started a countdown. They do not know how long they will have the money to pay the bills and they do not know when they will receive it.
Friday (11) was the first pay day after the partial closure of the government and many employees were not receiving pay.
The so-called closure occurs when the presidency and Congress do not encroach on the budget and the government is running out of money.
The current record – the most important in history, which lasts 22 days – is the wall money that Donald Trump wants to build and that Democrats do not want to approve.
Without receiving, the flight controllers sue the government. The investigations of the federal police, the FBI, are threatened: five thousand agents were sent home and 13,000 work without receiving anything.
In recent days, Trump had threatened to declare a national emergency to use funds set aside in the case of natural disasters to build the wall. The critics came as well as the threats of a legal battle in court and he changed his mind. The country continues without any sign of solution on the horizon.
The only breakthrough in the talks was the agreement on a decree allowing employees who were sent home on closure to receive a salary after the impbade.
As long as the money does not come, the country is mobilizing. A California-based financial institution provides interest-free loans to Coast Guard servicemen and volunteers organize lunches and dinners to help federal officials save money and food.
