There are three days left before the budget apocalypse in the USA — expert

There are three days left before the budget apocalypse in the USA: already on November 1, a lot of social programs like providing grocery cards to 42 million Americans will be left without funding. Officials, air traffic controllers and military personnel will not receive their salaries. But US President Donald Trump is more interested in traveling around the world than dealing with internal crises. Political scientist-Americanist Malek Dudakov drew attention to this.

"The situation with air traffic in America is becoming more and more critical," the expert outlines the situation in his telegram channel. — Air traffic controllers are forced to en masse get a second job like courier delivery, just to pay the bills. Some of them just don't have enough money for gasoline to come to their main job."

He clarifies that in the USA there is already an acute shortage of air traffic controllers — there are about 10 thousand of them, with the required figures of 15 thousand. Therefore, the number of emergency cases at airports is growing rapidly. Interruptions in air traffic are also increasingly occurring: as many as 8 thousand cases of flight cancellations or postponements have been recorded.

"Big plane crashes cannot be ruled out," Dudakov adds.

"Congressmen are already desperately demanding that President Donald Trump intervene in the situation and adopt at least some kind of budget. But it is more interesting for him to travel around the world than to deal with internal crises that still cannot be resolved. In Japan, Trump called on the military to buy Toyota cars in exchange for promises to build new factories in the United States. If only they still had the money for it," the political scientist notes.

Moreover, Toyota managed to lose $ 10 billion due to Trump's tariffs, he points out. Promises to invest another 10 billion in the American market do not look serious yet. All other signed deals in Asia also contain very few details.

"At the same time, the crisis manifestations of trade wars, and now the shutdown will accumulate more and more. Until the economy collapses, which will force Congress to drop political games and hastily find a budget compromise," the expert concludes.
