Core Points - The longest government shutdown in U.S. history lasted 43 days and has ended, but the damage caused is largely irreversible [1] - The shutdown resulted in a significant economic impact, with an estimated GDP growth reduction of 1.5 percentage points for Q4, translating to an economic loss of approximately $7 to $15 billion [4] - The shutdown particularly affected Washington D.C., where over 40% of the workforce are government employees, leading to a 50% drop in restaurant revenues during this period [4] Economic Impact - The U.S. Congressional Budget Office estimated that the shutdown caused a permanent economic loss equivalent to the cost of building a new aircraft carrier, approximately $13 billion [4] - Consumer confidence in the U.S. has plummeted to a three-year low, decreasing by 6% from the previous month and nearly 30% year-over-year [6][7] Government Operations - The reopening of government does not mean an immediate return to normal operations, as agencies need time to recall personnel and process backlogged work [9] - The backlog includes critical reports on inflation and labor markets that may never be published due to the shutdown [9] Future Risks - The temporary funding measure only extends government operations until January 30, raising concerns about another potential shutdown in less than three months if budget negotiations fail [10] - Key issues remain unresolved, particularly regarding the extension of Obamacare subsidies, which could lead to significant increases in healthcare costs for millions of Americans [10][12] Political Landscape - The political divide remains significant, with increasing difficulty for bipartisan agreements, as evidenced by tensions within the Democratic Party following the shutdown [13] - The next potential shutdown crisis looms as leaders may have to choose between maintaining government operations and preserving their political positions [13]

虽然共和党人推动短期支出议案在美国众议院的表决中涉险过关,但无论是该议案还是民主党人的另一版竞争议案,都未能在参议院获批, 下月初美国联邦政 府关门的危险正在迫近。 在美东时间19日周五的参议院投票中,一项共和党提出的短期支出议案未能达到获批的60票门槛,仅有44票支持,低于反对的48票。该议案周五稍早在众议 院以217票支持、212票反对的5票微弱优势得到通过。 参议院周五稍早还就民主党人起草的竞争性短期支出议案进行投票。由于共和党议员反对,该议案也未能获得通过。投票结果为47票赞成,45票反对,未达到 60票的获批门槛。 本次两党的短期支出议案均未能在参议院闯关成功,让国会避免政府关门的努力陷入僵局 。 现有的法案仅支持联邦政府运转到本月底。 这意味着,在不到两周时间内, 国会必须至少通过一项保证短期支出的议案,否则部分政府机构就会在10月1日这个新财年的首日停摆。 周五美股盘后, 美国总统特朗普也发出了警告 , 称联邦政府可能因为两党之间的僵局而关门。 他说: 不同于共和党自称的"干净"议案,民主党的议案还涉及医保相关政策。其拨款中有3500亿美元用于永久延长即将到期的《平价医疗法案》(ACA)补贴,即 ...
