oсторожно, Штаты закрываются?

[Victor Okunev]

Как-то неожиданно выяснилось, что правительство Штатов может прекратит функционировать в конце этой недели: http://money.cnn.com/2011/04/06/news/ec ... /index.htm

Неожиданность состоит в том, что в канадских новостях об этом практически ни слова.

Which services would stop? During the last major shutdowns in the final days of 1995 and early 1996, the government closed 368 National Park Service sites, along with national museums and monuments.

In addition, 200,000 passport applications went unprocessed and toxic waste cleanup work at 609 sites stopped. The National Institutes of Health stopped accepting new clinical research patients and services for veterans, including health care, were curtailed.

Work on bankruptcy cases could slow. In the last shutdown, more than 3,500 cases were delayed.

Will troops overseas get the resources they need? Yes. While some Pentagon activities would stop, it would continue many other operations necessary for the safety of human life and protection of property.

Which services would the government keep running? Agencies are allowed to perform any operations necessary for the safety of human life and protection of property.

The government would keep essential services -- such as air traffic control and the national security apparatus -- in full operating mode.

Federal workers who provide medical care on the job would be kept on, as would employees who handle hazardous waste, inspect food, patrol the borders, protect federal property, guard inmates or work in power distribution.

Workers who protect essential elements of the money and banking system would also report to work.

The Postal Service, which is self-funded, will continue to operate.

How long will a shutdown last? Hard to say. Between 1977 and 1980, there were six shutdowns ranging from eight to 17 days.

не ребята, я не верю что это всерьез:

U.S. troops would be paid through April 8, but after that, paychecks to members of the military, including those in war zones, would stop.

все это пахнет обычным политическим торгом, Обама просто повысил ставки - достигайте консенсуса побыстрее, иначе всем будет плёхо. Если кому-то и задержат на пару дней получку то потом республиканцы с демократами будут до полного посинения друг друга обвинять - а вот если бы вы не уперлись рогом и вовремя приняли бюджет, нашим войскам бы вовремя зарплату заплатили и из экономического кризиса быстрее бы вылезли...

и опять же можно будет под звуки фанфар достигнуть соглашения и возобновить работу (получки, медицину, сбор мусора) и сказать что это все произошло из-за нашей доброй воли и заботе о простых семьях предвыборная игра на публику короче

The Clinton-era shutdowns lasted five days and 21 days. Since that episode the federal government has suffered no similar shutdown.

Most political strategists agree that the Clinton-era shutdowns politically benefited the sitting president, who was able to paint Republicans as obstructionist.

If a shutdown does come to fruition, the current crop of Republicans will be looking to avoid the same fate.
