American minister of Economic Affairs Wilbur Ross said in an interview with news channel CNBC said that he does not understand why officials who are unemployed as a result of the shutdown, food banks search. Ross added that they will instead loans with a low interest rate can shut down. By the shutdown that today is his 34th day went, 800.000 civil servants unpaid leave or continue to work without they are paid. Ross, a billionaire, is not the first Trump-official as the heavy toll of the longest shutdown in American history minimizes.
Ross calls on the unpaid officials on loans in order to pay their bills, now they also have their second month’s salary are likely to miss. The billionaire also emphasized that they their monthly income will be paid and that the impact of the partial overheidssluiting will be easy.
“These are guaranteed by the government loans, the government has promised that these people will be paid as soon as this (the shutdown) is resolved,” said Ross. When exactly that money is paid, however, remains a big question. “So really there is no good reason why there is now a liquidity crisis should do,” she said. “It is true that the people have a little interest have to pay, but the idea that it is a salary or nothing, is not a valid argument,” he continued.
to Resort to food banks
By the long-lasting shutdown to federal officials, more and more seek help at food banks, and when him pointed out, said Ross: “I know that they do and I don’t quite understand why.”
Officials organized yesterday a sit-in-action to the office of Senaatsvoorzitter Mitch McConnell to end the shutdown requirements. J. David Cox, the president of the largest ambtenarenvakbond of America, wrote earlier this month in a letter to president Donald Trump that the shutdown not only has major consequences for civil servants, but also for the service. “They want to be at the service of their fellow countrymen and re-paid,” wrote Cox.
