Answer 2

The two main reasons that led to the government shutdown are:

Government shutdown meaning-

• Several federal agencies and programs are reliant on Congress's regular budget allocations. Annually, Congress should approve as well as the President should execute budgetary legislation for such following fiscal year, which includes 12 spending bills, one per Appropriations subcommittee.
• The 12 legislation to help compensate the supplementary expenditure budget for FY 2022 has yet to be passed by Congress. During a "shutdown," the non-important discretionary activities of federal agencies must be suspended unless additional funding legislation is negotiated and signed into law.
• Essential services and required expenditure programs continue to operate.

1. Reason for the shutdown-

• Long-term budget deal-Because Congress has regularly missed funding deadlines, Democrats have the power to demand an immigration compromise in exchange for their support to keep the government running.
• Instead of enacting full-year appropriations for each government department and agency, or grouping them all into an omnibus, Congress has depended on a series of stopgap budget bills described as continuing resolutions, which commenced on October 1.
• The largest roadblock to a bipartisan budget compromise is a disagreement over whether the Trump administration's desire for a major increase in defense spending must always be matched by an equivalent increase in domestic expenditure, as Democrats want.

2. Reason for the shutdown-

• DACA- This is the key reason for the suspension. Republicans in the House, as well as the Senate, have been calling for a permanent legislative fix to safeguard the young immigrants described as Dreamers since Trump said in September that he would stop the Obama-era Work Authorization for DACA-Childhood Arrivals program on March 5 unless Congress moved to extend it.
• The chances of a speedy accord brightened temporarily in September after Trump seemed to sign off on a framework with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer, which would have swapped the Dream Act for increased military spending. However, under pressure from immigration hardliners, Trump backed down and added a new list of demands for a DACA agreement, including financing for his border wall and substantial improvements to the legal immigration process.
