U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN - Obama Warns of Gov Shutdown on October 1st if Budget Not Passed






President Barack Obama said a possible government shutdown in two weeks would be a self-inflicted wound and urged Congress to pass a budget. Speaking to the Business Roundtable, Obama said the last shutdown, in 2013, cost the economy billions of dollars. Federal government funding expires on Sept. 30, and if lawmakers do not pass spending bills before then, a partial shutdown would begin October 1

President Barack Obama on Wednesday spelt out the risks to the US of a federal government shutdown , saying that the last time it happened it cost the economy billions of dollars and consumer confidence plummeted.

“I don’t think anybody here thinks that’s going to be good for your business,” he told a meeting of the Business Roundtable in Washington.

The partial shutdown of October 13 lasted 16 days because of a lapse in appropriations, making it the second longest since 1980 and leading to federal employees being put on unpaid leave for the equivalent of a total of 6.6m days.

He argued that if a shutdown coincided with a showdown over the government debt ceiling, this could do more damage than a shutdown alone. That was the case in 2013, but this autumn the shutdown threat may well have passed by the time tensions reach boiling point over the debt ceiling.

President Obama has been ramping up his attacks on fractious congressional Republicans in recent days, accusing them of pushing the country toward a government shutdown that would damage the U.S. economy.
