The federal government could soon be headed for a shutdown unless Democrats and Republicans can reach an agreement prior to a looming deadline.
Sen. Dick Durbin says that the Democratic-controlled Senate is ready to play ball on a compromise, but expressed concerns that McCarthy’s caucus in the House may torpedo legislation, leading to a shutdown.
As for the impact a shutdown could have on Americans, numbers published by the White House tell a startling tale. Estimates suggest that a shutdown would result in at least 800 fewer Customs and Border Protection agents on staff. At least 65,000 children would lose access to government-supported health care. Food inspections would be delayed, and the Small Business Administration would be unable to issue new loans.
