白宫指示各机构为潜在大规模裁员做好准备,以应对政府关门威胁

摘要

白宫已指示联邦机构制定潜在大规模裁员计划,以防国会未能在9月30日截止日期前阻止政府关门。

白宫已指示联邦机构为潜在的大规模裁员做好准备,如果国会未能在9月30日截止日期前避免政府关门。美国媒体获得的一份备忘录显示,预算管理办公室指示各机构开始起草“裁员”计划,针对那些如果国会未能按时通过预算,其资金将被切断的项目。

备忘录中写道:“我们仍希望国会中的民主党人不会引发关门,上述措施将不必实施。”备忘录警告称,永久性裁员将针对那些没有其他资金来源且“不符合总统优先事项”的联邦项目、计划和活动。

此事发生之际,特朗普总统取消了与民主党领袖查克·舒默和哈基姆·杰弗里斯的预定会面。该会议原本旨在协商防止政府关门的解决方案。特朗普总统表示:“我决定与他们的国会领导人开会不可能有成效,”并称民主党的要求“既不严肃又荒谬”。

民主党指责白宫使用恐吓手段。舒默回应称:“唐纳德·特朗普从上任第一天起就一直在解雇联邦工作人员——不是为了治理,而是为了恐吓。这没什么新鲜的,也与政府资金无关。”

如果在10月1日财政年度开始前未达成协议,政府将面临关门,所有非必要的自由裁量职能将停止。上周,众议院的共和党人和一名民主党人通过了一项短期措施,将政府资金维持到11月20日,但参议院民主党人阻止了该法案。他们提出了自己的计划,旨在恢复医疗保健资金,此前特朗普7月的政策大法案大幅削减了医疗补助计划,该计划为数百万残疾人和低收入美国人提供医疗保障。

预算办公室的备忘录强调,各机构必须为潜在的大规模裁员做好准备,凸显了解决预算僵局以避免联邦项目和服务重大中断的紧迫性。
