Exciting and still scarey negotiations are going on in America and it seems like debt ceiling situation is not under control still... and even raising of debt is no news in America... still ultra right winged in the congress are doing what they can in order to make these negotians fail or getting their tax cuts through... and of course in order to weaken the position of the president.
A governmnet needs to pay it,s bills and american servicemen and retarded and handicapped and poor and pensionists and teachers and... are not going to be able to get their wages with out a deal... things will get under control later on but still some very hard mounths for America will be the result of a "No" for sure. Republicans have chosed saying No to almost what ever this president have suggested so far but this time the matter is very serious and there is no time for dirty games or trying to make sure rich America not paying a more fair part of it,s wealth back to America even America needs this money in order to make it through the troubled water and through this periode of time with a weak economy.
What shall happen you beleive? Should bipartisanship making sure that a defualt is avoided or should the whole thing collapse and a govermental shut down happening?
Can America really afford this odd behaviour of GOP mainly who as usual wants more tax cuts for the rich even the same kind of tax cuts was one of the main reasons why the economy collapsed and Recession became reality and dammages are this deep and not easy to solve here and now?
Another thread and I hope we can communicate and expressing our points of views with no anger but because of a deep desire of expression.

Sure it took many years to go down and it takes some years going up a gain... nothing odd a bout this what so ever.
Government Obama, Lawmakers Debate Taxes in Latest Deficit Talk
Published July 14, 2011
President Barack Obama and top Republicans faced off over taxes and healthcare spending on Thursday in their fifth deficit meeting this week as pressure rose for Washington to raise the U.S. debt ceiling soon.
After days of talks that participants described as both productive and acrimonious, the two sides are still trying to forge a deal that would cut the deficit and allow Congress to raise the $14.3 trillion borrowing limit before August 2, when the country would face default.
Markets reacted skittishly as an agreement remained elusive, and divisions within the Republican Party seemed to increase the difficulty of striking a deal.
The latest round of talks began at 4:24 p.m. EDT, following a difficult session on Wednesday, when the Democratic president clashed with Republican lawmakers and declared "Enough's enough." A leading Republican said Obama walked out of the meeting.
The two sides are at an impasse over whether some tax increases should be a part of a deal to reduce the deficit. That issue was expected to be the main topic in Thursday's talks.
Concern from abroad is adding to pressure at home to reach a deal.
"The eyes of the country are on us, the eyes of the world are on us," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told reporters after meeting with Democratic senators. "We are running out of time."
China, the United States' biggest foreign creditor with more than $1 trillion in Treasury debt, urged Washington to adopt responsible policies to protect investor interests.
Beijing's comments followed a warning by Moody's Investors Service that it might strip the gold-plated U.S. credit rating if the $14.3 trillion credit limit was not raised.
Standard & Poor's has also privately told U.S. lawmakers and top business groups that it might cut the rating if the government fails to make any of its expected payments, including Social Security checks, even if it makes all of its debt payments, a source in the meeting said.
The Treasury has warned that it will run out of money after August 2 to pay all of the country's bills if a deal is not reached to raise the debt ceiling, which caps the amount of money the United States can borrow.
The prospect of a cut in the United States' AAA credit rating hit stocks prices globally and weakened the dollar on Thursday. U.S. bond prices fell in New York and yields rose, in part due to the Moody's warning.
