Office of Management \u200cand Budget Director Shalanda\u200c Young, joined by White House press \u2062secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, took the opportunity\u200c to attack House Republicans during Friday&#8217;s \u2063briefing. They also \u200boutlined the preparations the Biden administration is\u2064 making ahead of the impending deadline.<\/p>\n<h3>White House&#8217;s Ongoing Criticism of House Republicans<\/h3>\n<p>For weeks, the White House has been relentless in its \u2062criticism of\u2064 House Speaker Kevin \u200cMcCarthy and\u2062 the \u2063Republican caucus. They accuse them of trying to undermine the\u2064 budget agreement brokered by McCarthy and President \u200dJoe Biden earlier this year. The \u200bWhite House has been actively distributing \u2062memos \u200cand press releases to highlight the negative\u2062 economic impact a &#8220;Republican shutdown&#8221; would have on households.<\/p>\n<p>During the briefing,\u200c Young reiterated the administration&#8217;s concerns about the potential consequences of a shutdown. She emphasized \u2063the impact\u200d on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-ag-brnovich-calls-on-gov-ducey-to-take-three-actions-to-address-border-crisis\/\" title=\"Arizona AG Brnovich Calls On Gov. Ducey To Take Three Actions To Address Border Crisis\">food assistance programs<\/a>, natural disaster\u2064 relief, and the\u200b migrant crisis at the southern\u200c border. Young \u200calso highlighted the financial strain a shutdown would place \u200bon low-wage\u2063 federal workers who live paycheck to paycheck.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Real Consequences\u200b of a Shutdown&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Young pointed \u200dout that while members of\u2063 Congress would \u2062still receive\u200d their pay during a shutdown, many federal employees, including\u200c custodians, would not. She estimated that around 1.5 million &#8220;civilian&#8221; federal employees would go unpaid, with\u200b approximately 800,000 deemed essential and still required to work. Service members would also go without pay, although they would remain on active duty to protect national\u2064 security operations.<\/p>\n<p>Young, \u2064who previously worked\u2062 as a top appropriations staffer \u2064on Capitol Hill, \u200dspecifically targeted House Republicans for their \u2064refusal to adhere \u2063to\u2064 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-prepares-for-government-shutdown-but-wont-pause-pr-war-on-gop\/\" title=\"White House readies for shutdown, won't halt PR battle with GOP.\">debt ceiling budget\u2064 deal<\/a>. She expressed \u200cconcern that this behavior could undermine \u200bpublic trust in the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Urgency to Avoid a Shutdown&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Young pleaded with House Republicans to reconsider their stance, emphasizing\u2064 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-violent-crime-in-seattle-reaches-14-year-high\/\" title=\"Report: Violent Crime in Seattle Reaches 14-Year High\">real-life consequences<\/a> of a shutdown. She \u2063criticized their cavalier attitude towards\u2063 the situation and\u2064 the negative expectations \u2062it sets for how people perceive their\u2063 government. Young stressed the importance of avoiding a shutdown and working towards \u2063a resolution.<\/p>\n<h3>White\u200d House Staff Furloughed, Biden Not Planning to Travel<\/h3>\n<p>Following Young&#8217;s remarks, Jean-Pierre confirmed that a significant portion of the White House staff would be furloughed. However,\u200d the press office\u200b would continue to hold briefings, likely with a\u2062 focus on highlighting the role of\u200d Republicans in the government shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding negotiations, Jean-Pierre firmly stated that President Biden would not be personally involved. She\u2064 emphasized that negotiations had already taken place, resulting \u2063in a bipartisan piece of\u200b legislation that became\u2063 law. Jean-Pierre called on \u200bHouse\u200c Republicans\u2062 to \u2063take responsibility and\u200c fix the \u200bsituation on behalf\u2064 of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Conversation Lies with \u2063House Republicans&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre made it \u2063clear that the\u2063 conversation should be with Speaker McCarthy and his caucus,\u2062 not President Biden. She urged House \u2064Republicans to have the necessary conversation and resolve the issue, emphasizing the harm that millions of \u200bAmericans would face\u200d due to \u200dtheir actions.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full briefing below:<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How is\u2063 the \u2062Biden\u2062 administration preparing for a potential government shutdown and what\u2063 steps are being taken \u2064to \u2064mitigate its impact<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Imately 800,000 of them being forced to work without pay. \u2063Young\u200c emphasized\u2064 that \u2062these employees are essential \u2062to\u200d the functioning \u200cof\u2063 the government and should \u200bnot\u2063 be treated as expendable casualties \u2062of political \u200cgamesmanship.<\/p>\n<p>Young also noted the\u200c potential disruption to vital \u200cgovernment services and programs. She \u200dhighlighted the impact a shutdown would have on the processing\u2062 of tax returns, access to \u2063national parks, and the distribution of Social Security and Medicare payments. She warned that\u2063 this \u2062would not only inconvenience millions of Americans\u200d but could also have long-term economic consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Blaming House Republicans for the Impending \u2064Shutdown<\/p>\n<p>The \u200cWhite House \u2063expressed \u200cits frustration with \u200bHouse\u2062 Republicans, \u200caccusing them of using the impending government\u200c shutdown as a political \u2064tool. They argue \u200cthat\u200c Republicans are prioritizing their own political agenda over the well-being of the American people. Both Young and Jean-Pierre criticized the Republicans for rejecting bipartisan deals and refusing\u200d to compromise on funding for critical programs and initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden \u200bAdministration&#8217;s Preparations<\/p>\n<p>Despite\u200c their frustrations and concerns, Young reassured \u2063the public that the Biden administration is taking measures\u200d to mitigate the potential impact of a shutdown.\u200b She emphasized that the administration is actively communicating with federal agencies and working to ensure that essential \u2064services can continue uninterrupted. Young also highlighted that discussions are ongoing with congressional leaders to find \u200da\u2064 resolution and prevent\u200d a \u200cshutdown.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063White House&#8217;s criticism of House Republicans\u200b regarding the\u200d impending government shutdown is increasing as the deadline approaches. They condemn \u2064the Republicans\u200c for their\u200c alleged disregard for the consequences\u200d a \u200cshutdown would have\u2064 on federal \u200bemployees and \u2062the\u200d American\u200d people.\u2064 The Biden administration is actively preparing for a potential\u200b shutdown, while\u200b also urging congressional leaders\u200d to prioritize the \u200binterests of the American people\u200b over political considerations. \u2062Only time will tell if a resolution can\u200b be reached\u200c to avert \u2063a shutdown and prevent the negative impacts it would bring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House expects a government shutdown and blames House Republicans for opposing funding legislation.
