WASHINGTON -- Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid plans to bring a bill to raise the debt ceiling and cut the deficit to the Senate floor on Friday. Reid said he can't wait any longer for House Republicans to act on their own bill, which stalled in the House Thursday night. The Treasury says the debt ceiling needs to be raised by Aug. 2 or the U.S. won't be able to pay its bills. " The time has come to make a decision," Reid said. | ||||

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will make a statement at 10:20 a.m. Eastern on Friday about the status of the debt-ceiling negotiations, the White House said. House Republicans delayed a scheduled vote on a bill to reduce the deficit and lift the debt ceiling on Thursday night. The Treasury Department says the $14.3 trillion debt limit must be raised before Aug. 2 or the government will run out of money to pay bills. | ||||

Why and what's happening now in U.S?., Here - not for the next five years, then again perhap (maybe, maybe not) in next coming 10, 20-30 years. S'pore may behave like U.S. Sing (S$) dollar will be weak and worth alot less as we have perhap may have two or more parties jossing for power, money and greed. “If you look at the incentives and disincentives faced by members of Congress, you can see why they do not want to take compromising positions,” said Gary Jacobson, a political scientist at the University of California in San Diego. “They are playing to the people who got them there. Those people do want compromise. But by ‘compromise,’ they mean the other side caves in to them,” Jacobson said. teeth53 said: A more balance govt with common sense will prevail... 
That right by any standard and comment...More Western style education is leading us and everyone, especially ordinary folks to think like angmo. And leading us is western style leaderships, previously it is LKY said, everyone seem to follow. Now due to more money pocketed by a few lions and by familee, the rich is becoming richer and poor be coming poorer. It is income gap widening that is happening here and in every part of this world. How are we to take on this challenge and tackle income gap widering..?.
true, true, that true...  Short term challenge is to tackle cost of living....and tackle inflation rate. |

U.S governing system it seem - not suit for S'pore LKY governing system - it seen to promote more pocket money for lions and not sheeps. Either way. We need to education his childrens, his grand and great grand childrens and ours as well. 
So far S'porean is still learning how best not to copy from the West nor East. One way is how our Finance Ministry is doing and some others country is copying from us...

Weak govt will see S’pore ‘spiral downwards’: Lee Kuan Yew What LKY is saying now, does not happen now, maybe in future (who know - perhap it won't happen?) perhap about 20 -30 years time. Party Loyalty Brings U.S. Debt Talks to Precipice http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-27/party-loyalty-to-insecure-leaders-seen-bringing-u-s-to-default-precipice.html President Barack Obama (democrat) told the nation in his July 25 televised speech that Washington “is a city where ‘compromise’ is becoming a dirty word.” The ideological purification of the two parties. The public’s demands for painless remedies and the insecurity of party leaders after three elections that shuffled partisan power are all elements that brought Congress (Republican), the president and the country to this perilous point. “If you look at the incentives and disincentives faced by members of Congress, you can see why they do not want to take compromising positions,” said Gary Jacobson, a political scientist at the University of California in San Diego. “They are playing to the people who got them there. Those people do want compromise. But by ‘compromise,’ they mean the other side caves in to them,” Jacobson said. |

Bet on U.S. default next week?, betting worth $4.8 billion on a U.S. default..??. http://money.cnn.com/ (CNNMoney) -- Wall St is often likened to a big casino for obvious reasons. at least a few financial players are looking to cash in on such a bleak turn of events. A small camp of investors are betting that the U.S. government will default on its debt, and they're putting $4.8 billion of their chips on the table. In the event of a default, that's how much financial firms will have to pay out to investors who bought credit default swaps against the U.S. govt, according to figures from the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. |

Debt ceiling countdown - 6 days left. U.S. stocks were poised for a flat open Wednesday, as lawmakers made little progress toward raising the debt ceiling with less than one week to go before the nation's borrowing limit must be lifted. More

Meanwhile Ah Ben is thinking of this...Could the Fed Rescue US From the Debt Ceiling? http://www.cnbc.com/id/43879039 The Fed currently owns about $1.63 trillion of Treasurys. It can sell these through its open market operations Sales of Treasurys by the Fed would not violate the debt ceiling laws, because the debt has already been issued. It is already counted against the debt ceiling. The U.S. government borrows around $125 billion each month. This means that, at least in theory, it is possible for the Fed to fully fund the borrowing needs of the U.S. government for nearly a year. |
