Government Shutdown: Longest in US History, Economic Costs Mount
Update: 2025-11-08
Description
As the government shutdown enters its record-breaking third week, Senate lawmakers struggle to find common ground, with proposals to reopen the government or ensure paychecks for federal workers met with immediate rejection. Senator John Thune expresses hope for a new bill with a fresh end date and full-year authorization, but a vote seems unlikely. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumers plan to reopen the government in exchange for a one-year extension of enhanced Obamacare subsidies is swiftly rejected. The economic impact grows, with United States airlines canceling flights due to reduced air traffic capacity, as the shutdowns costs continue to rise.
