What's at risk if Congress doesn't fund the government by Friday's deadline

The article from MSN discusses the looming deadline for Congress to fund the government by November 17, 2023, to avoid a shutdown. If Congress fails to pass the necessary funding legislation, several critical services and programs could be affected. This includes potential disruptions in federal employee paychecks, delays in Social Security benefits, and interruptions in various public services like national parks, food safety inspections, and air traffic control. Additionally, military personnel might not receive their salaries on time, and there could be impacts on programs like WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children). The article highlights the political tension and negotiations between the parties, with some Republicans pushing for spending cuts and policy changes, while others, including Democrats, advocate for a clean continuing resolution to keep the government running. The failure to reach an agreement could lead to significant economic and operational consequences across the United States.
