美国政府停摆现转机？民主党态度软化，共和党回绝但承认有进展

Group 1 - The core proposal from Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer aims to end the government shutdown that began on October 1 by agreeing to a short-term funding resolution for government operations [1][9] - In exchange, Republicans are expected to agree to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits for one year, which are set to expire at the end of December [2][7] - The proposal marks a significant shift in the Democratic stance, as they previously insisted on including the tax credit extension directly in the funding bill [11][12] Group 2 - The proposal consists of three parts: a short-term government funding resolution, an extension of ACA premium tax credits, and the establishment of a bipartisan committee to negotiate long-term healthcare affordability reforms [9][10] - Schumer described the proposal as a "simple compromise" and expressed optimism that the Senate could pass it within hours [10][11] - The market reacted positively to the proposal, with the S&P 500 index reversing a 1.3% decline to close higher, indicating optimism about the potential for breaking the deadlock [20] Group 3 - The ongoing government shutdown is causing significant disruptions, including flight reductions mandated by the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), affecting major airports [4][21] - Food assistance programs for 42 million Americans have been paused, further exacerbating the impact of the shutdown on citizens [23] - The FAA has ordered airlines to cut flights by 4% initially, with expectations of a 10% reduction by the following weekend, and potential increases to 20% if the shutdown continues [21][22]
