  Plans to avert a partial government shutdown starting this weekend appeared scuttled after President-elect Donald Trump opposed the bipartisan deal.

The article from MSN discusses the potential impacts of a looming U.S. government shutdown on military families and veterans. If Congress fails to pass a funding bill by the deadline, military personnel might face delayed paychecks, which could strain their finances, especially for those living paycheck to paycheck. This situation could lead to difficulties in paying for essentials like food, housing, and utilities. Additionally, veterans might see disruptions in services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), including delays in processing benefits claims, healthcare appointments, and other support services. The shutdown could also affect the morale and operational readiness of the military, as uncertainty and financial stress impact service members' focus and well-being. The article highlights the broader implications of political gridlock on national security and the welfare of those who serve or have served the country.
