民主党在政府停摆中坚持立场,共和党批评加剧

摘要

在持续的政府停摆期间,民主党继续坚定其医疗保健要求,遭到共和党的尖锐批评。

随着美国政府停摆进入第十天,参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默表达了对民主党立场的信心,称“每天对我们来说情况都在好转”。民主党人一直坚持立场,要求在同意重新开放政府之前,在医疗保健和其他问题上获得让步。

共和党领导人对此进行了强烈批评。众议院议长迈克·约翰逊谴责舒默的言论,称“查克·舒默现在所做的事情令人作呕”。停摆导致全国联邦机构关闭或减少运作,影响了数十万名员工。

白宫通过管理与预算办公室主任拉斯·沃特启动了裁员,尽管具体数字尚不清楚。舒默指责政府故意伤害工作人员,称“他们不必这么做,但他们想这么做。他们冷酷无情地选择伤害人民。”

僵局始于10月1日政府资金到期。此后,参议院七次投票未能解决问题,双方互相阻挠对方的提案。民主党利用其地位寻求延长《平价医疗法案》保费税收抵免、撤销医疗补助削减、恢复对公共媒体机构的资金支持,以及限制政府单方面削减开支的能力。

共和党坚持先重新开放政府再进行谈判。他们将民主党的坚定立场归因于多种因素,包括来自进步派支持者的压力。约翰逊暗示民主党参议员担心即将到来的抗议可能引发的反弹,指责他们“愿意把美国人民当做人质,以避免面对愤怒的群众。”

进步派团体表达了对民主党做法的支持。Indivisible联合执行董事埃兹拉·莱文指出,“民主党……理解他们的支持者希望他们走的方向,并且实际上正在采取行动反击。这是一道风景线。”莱文强调民主党诉求的受欢迎程度,并警告不要信任共和党会遵守任何协议。
