USA: The House approved an emergency funding bill, at the last minute to avoid fiscal paralysis of the country

THE US House of Representatives today approved a federal emergency funding bill, key step to avoid the country’s fiscal paralysis at the last minute.

The bill was passed with 335 positive votes and 91 negative votes. It is now expected to be put to a vote in the Senate.

Without the approval of the House of Representatives, government agencies employing 4 million employees would be forced to partially suspend their operations today due to a lack of funding.

This scenario is becoming increasingly common in the US, at a time of acute polarization, with Democrats and Republicans fighting hard ahead of the upcoming elections.
