Despite the budget paralysis in Congress, President Donald Trump has stated that he will use his authority to ensure that American soldiers are paid on October 15. The budget impasse has led to technical unemployment for over 700,000 federal employees, and Trump blames the Democrats for the responsibility. While Republicans propose maintaining current spending, Democrats are calling for an extension of health subsidies. Trump rejects negotiations on health issues without reopening the government.
