No deal about budget US: shutdown again

washington - At the expiration of the midnight deadline (local time), no agreement has yet been reached in the US Congress about a new budget. Formally, a new shutdown of the US government services is entering.

Remarkably, it is a Republican who is bothering his party. Rand Paul, a fiscally conservative senator from the state of Kentucky, objected to the planned increase in government spending of hundreds of billions of dollars over the next two years.

Paul held the Senate in his grasp by speaking to the Senate for nine hours: 'I am here tonight to put people in their place and feel uncomfortable. 'Paul called the budget plan' a looting of the treasury. '

Despite Paul's opposition, it is expected that an agreement will be reached in the course of Friday.

The US Senate appeared to have signed a budget deal on Wednesday for the next two years. A majority of both Republicans and Democrats could agree. The planned budget provides more money for defense and infrastructure, but also leaves room for social policy. In total, this involves an expansion of the budget by nearly 300 billion dollars (245 billion euros).

Paul Ryan, the leader of the Republicans in the House said earlier Thursday that he expected a budget agreement before the deadline. President Donald Trump also expressed his support for the budget proposal.
