The US Government Shutdown 2025 A Clear Failure

As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and the Founder & CEO of United Accounting & Financial Services LLC, I see the current U.S. government shutdown as nothing less than a serious financial and administrative failure — fueled by political stubbornness on both sides.

The IRS, the main engine of federal revenue, is operating at a fraction of its capacity. Billions of dollars in tax collections, audits, and settlements are on hold while small businesses, taxpayers, and accounting firms are left waiting without answers.

At United Accounting, we deal with the consequences every day — clients waiting for responses, compliance cases stuck in limbo, and the entire tax system disrupted because politics came before responsibility.

Both parties claim to stand for fiscal discipline, yet they’ve chosen a path that shuts down the very institution responsible for collecting the nation’s money. That isn’t leadership — it’s financial self-sabotage wrapped in political pride.

Every additional day of this shutdown costs taxpayers millions, weakens trust in the system, and hurts the professionals trying to keep things running.

Real leadership means protecting the nation’s financial stability, not playing politics with it. Responsibility doesn’t stop when the government does.
