US Government Shutdown

The political crisis in the U.S. is growing. Upper limit public debt will be achieved by October 17 , but increase its MPs are not going to - Republicans continue to boycott the key decisions . President Barack Obama calls his opponents blackmailers and warns about the likelihood of a new deep recession. Those, in turn, are not willing to make concessions and waiting for the president in negotiations. Tension seems to be reaching its climax.

Barack Obama urged the House of Representatives to stop the threat and adopt the budget . He said he would discuss with the Republican amendments to the draft document and the implementation of health care reform , but only if they cease to pose a threat to the economy of the country, reports RIA " Novosti".



Obama said that the excess of the debt limit (which would happen if the "ceiling" of the national debt will not be increased ) will disrupt markets and undermine America's reputation will increase the deficit and external debt of the country and create a "substantial risk of a very deep recession." He added that the Republicans have not made serious proposals to break the political deadlock and stalling .

Republican House Speaker John Boehner , in turn , said that the Congress is not going to increase the "ceiling" without negotiation . "We can not raise the debt ceiling without taking any action against that leads to further borrowing and makes us live beyond our means ," - he said at a news conference. The conditions put forward by Obama , he has called " the unconditional surrender of the Republicans ." Thus , the situation remains a stalemate .

Resolve a difficult situation in which the country finds itself , will , apparently, a woman. The new head of the Federal Reserve System ( Fed ) Chairman Ben Bernanke may instead become his assistant manager Janet Yellen . It will put forward its candidacy of Barack Obama on Wednesday , says the BBC BBC. If Congress approves the President's decision , the Yellen becomes the first woman in the history of the Fed, the lead agency .

Meanwhile, some structures do not have to wait for resolution of the political conflict - the previously sent on unpaid leave the CIA began to return to the service. Director of the department , John Brennan said that the decision was made due to the fact that the lack of these professionals jeopardize national security. According to him, because of the holidays has been undermined by work in areas such as counter-intelligence and covert operations abroad , the collection and analysis of intelligence information.

Do not intend to abandon the U.S. and from the military " support " of other states. Published earlier media reports that the White House will roll alleged program of military aid to Egypt , was a duck . This was stated by Chairman of the National Security Council under the President of the United States Caitlin Hayden , adding that the program will be announced in the coming days.

Hayden's statement clearly shows that even the threat of a serious financial crisis , along with the work of the stopped state institutions within the United States is not able to reduce the appetite of the country 's foreign policy .
