What to expect as the U.S. government shutdown enters its second week

Many U.S. federal employees have been on furlough, while others continue to have no salaries as lawmakers fail to fund the government last week’s parking measures, and work shutdowns are expected to continue.

As of Monday morning, there was no reported agreement between the Republican Party and members of the U.S. Congress to stop closures and return to normal operations, including activities in financial regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The Senate plans to provide the administration with a continuing resolution vote at 5:30 p.m. ET, but at the time of release it was unclear whether the measure had enough support to pass.

The crux of the Democratic stance in the budget deadlock is health care, with lawmakers demanding that any spending bill include removing cuts from the budget measures in July.
