美国政府，又“停摆”了

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. federal government has entered a "technical shutdown" due to funding issues, occurring less than three months after the longest shutdown in history, which lasted 43 days [1][3]. Group 1: Government Shutdown Details - The Senate passed a $1.2 trillion funding bill for several federal departments, but the House of Representatives will not vote on it until the following week, leading to a temporary funding interruption [3][4]. - The technical shutdown began at midnight on January 31, affecting non-essential federal employees who will be placed on unpaid leave, and some government services may be delayed or interrupted [3][6]. - The funding bill passed by the Senate will provide funding until September 30 for most departments, excluding the Department of Homeland Security, which will receive a two-week extension for further negotiations [4][5]. Group 2: Economic Impact - The current technical shutdown is expected to have limited direct impact on financial markets and economic operations, but prolonged negotiations could extend the shutdown and increase its effects [7]. - The previous shutdown caused an irreversible economic loss of approximately $11 billion, and this shutdown could affect about 45% of the 2.2 million federal employees, with over 500,000 potentially working without pay and another 480,000 on forced leave [7]. - Key departments affected include the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of Treasury, Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, and Department of Transportation [7].
