News India Live, Digital Desk: Political Gridlock Us: You must have heard about the ‘shutdown of the US government’ on newspapers or TV. It feels a little strange to hear, right? How can the government of such a big power of the world be closed? Come, let’s talk about this today and in simple language, we understand what all this happens and if it ever happens, then what effect does it have.
Actually, ‘government shutdown’ does not mean that the whole country comes to a standstill. This means that many non-essential services of the US government stop for some time. This happens when the US Parliament is unable to compromise on time about the Congress budget. When the budget does not pass, the government does not have the money to run the departments, and they are forced to stop some of their activities.
If this happens ever, then its hit is seen in many places. First of all, thousands of government employees (federal employees) go on ‘furls’, that is, they are sent on leave without salary. Think, how would it feel if the salary stops on festivals like Diwali-Holi? There is an atmosphere of uncertainty in his life.
Then, some government work stops for the general public. Such as National Parks, Museums, some government offices and websites can be shut down. Essential services like passport application can also be delayed. This directly affects those who depend on these services. It also has a negative effect on the economy, as government spending is reduced and nervousness also spreads in the markets.
However, some very important services are still going on. Such as National Security, Police, Hospitals and Air Traffic Control never stop. But the rest of the work makes a little difficult.
Overall, the government shutdown is not good for any country. This not only affects the work of the government, but also has a direct impact on the lives of millions and the economy of the country. Hopefully, now you must have understood this ‘shutdown’ better!
