The U.S. government shutdown has now entered its fifth week, with no resolution in sight. The impasse has left thousands of federal employees furloughed and essential services disrupted across the country. Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, weighed in on the situation during an interview on 'Sunday Night in America,' expressing concerns about the impact on public services and the economy.
Arrington highlighted the strain on government operations, noting that critical programs such as national parks, food assistance, and disaster relief have been affected. He called for bipartisan cooperation to prevent further economic damage and to restore government functionality. The continued stalemate has also raised concerns among business leaders and consumers about potential long-term repercussions on the economy.
