两党仍互相“甩锅” 美联邦政府“停摆”将拖累美国经济

Group 1 - The U.S. government is facing a potential shutdown due to the inability of Congress to pass a temporary funding bill, which could lead to hundreds of thousands of federal workers being furloughed and impact economic data releases [1][2] - The core issue of the funding deadlock is the disagreement between Democrats and Republicans over healthcare priorities, with Democrats proposing a funding plan to keep the government running until October 31, which Republicans have rejected [1][2] Group 2 - The shutdown is expected to have significant negative impacts on various industries, particularly tourism, with estimates suggesting a loss of $1 billion for the tourism sector in just one week [2] - National parks are projected to lose $1 million in ticket revenue daily during the shutdown, while surrounding businesses could lose $77 million each day [2] - Previous shutdowns have resulted in delays in issuing export certificates and processing drilling permits, which adversely affected energy production [2] Group 3 - The shutdown could disrupt the release of key economic data, such as employment reports and inflation statistics, due to the closure of agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics [2] - Market participants are concerned that prolonged shutdowns may lead to increased volatility in U.S. Treasury bonds and the dollar, potentially influencing the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions [2] Group 4 - The shutdown will also affect the personal lives of federal workers, leading to delayed wages and potential permanent job cuts, marking the first time the federal government has indicated possible layoffs during a shutdown crisis [2]
