Most of the 400,000 Pentagon staff sent home within the US government shutdown have been ordered to return to work even as the impasse over the federal budget between Republicans and Democrats entered its sixth day on October 7, 2013. The shutdown has left federal employees on unpaid leave. Both sides have now voted to approve back-pay for the 800,000 federal workers sent home without salaries but there is still no sign of any measure to raise the nation’s $16.7 trillion debt ceiling. Congress must act by October 17 in order to avoid a debt default by the US government. United States’ economy will crash because they will run out of cash on that day for the first time in US history.
The two parties, Republicans and Democrats, have come together to take away the people’s liberties. It is almost evident that the USA’s democracy is turning into an anarchy. It’s a way for the government to steal the wealth of the country. As a consequence, China’s interests and the global economy will be severely hurt as well.
