Obama has not yet been able to break the Republicans

The Lower Chamber of the US Congress once again could not vote on the issues of budget adopting and increasing the ceiling of the public debt. Meanwhile, the deadline appointed by the Federal Treasury on October 17, after which the country may be in a state of technical default, is inevitably approaching.

In the confrontation between the Democrats and the Republicans, not the health care reform and not the structure of expenses have come to the forefront, but an increase in the ceiling of public debt.

Last Sunday, the annual meeting of world leaders and representatives of the IMF was held in Washington. They called on the United States as soon as possible to increase the ceiling of the public debt and open the government to prevent the collapse of the world economy.

Representatives of dozens of countries, including the two most important economic partners of the United States - Saudi Arabia and China, publicly stated that they were worried about what was happening in Congress and the White House.

At the end of last week, it became known that the Republicans suggested that Barack Obama increase the ceiling of the state debt for 6 weeks in order to have time to discuss conflicts of the budget. He rejected that proposal, counting not on temporary decisions, but on the final agreement and the resumption of the government.
