forecasting live from the heart of the russian capital you're watching r.t. the democrats control the u.s. senate has shot down a republican debt ceiling plan just hours after it was passed in the house of representatives the plan put forward by house speaker john boehner would have raised the country's debt ceiling by nine hundred billion dollars when i'm going to similar amounts and spending cuts and the clock ticks down to august second when the debt limit is reached there's less time to put an unprecedented default crisis which might prompt us to lose its top notch credit rating well senate democrat leader harry reid now hopes his proposal will see a compromise which could keep the government afloat and according to economists at max fraud wolf this plan is most likely to get the green light. less than two

business days away from the worst self-imposed crisis of america's standing in the world and america's credit rating and at least a century it's a fairly emergency situation and we're deep into the eleventh bordering on the trough that our debt reduction plan that president obama has endorsed at least rhetorically that comes out of harry reid the democratic majority in the u.s. senate does make massive cuts in spending more than two point five trillion dollars over ten years so more than two hundred fifty billion dollars a year does no increase in revenue at all which was one of the early if i think somewhat rise demands of the republicans in these negotiations and therefore is possible is actually does more to reduce the deficit and the debt in the united states over the next ten years than the rival republican house plan the cut cap and balance plan and so it's possible that that could be pushed through none of these plans make real efforts to reduce the long term problem of insufficient revenue and these plans do reduce spending in ways that will be painful and for many

communities in the united states transformative but it's worthy of note and somehow hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows. while the politicians over who would be to blame if the american economy hits a brick wall so insolent say from the u.s. space trains journal says the political elite recognize simple solutions to curb america's deficit. that country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers go wrong i the politicians it looks look at the bigger picture first of all to devaluing the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in the last month has gained one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce what they're not talking about in all these deficit reduction hey how about the military budget how about slashing foreign aid fifty seven billion dollars a year how about companies like general electric made what the billion

dollars last year paying no taxes there's plenty of room out there to start raining this thing in and turning it around we do not have a representative form of government we have a government that represents only the very powerful and the very rich and that's all this is about letting them keeping their perks. so you can all make literacy sponge in america deep into crisis so sense that much kinder financial experts and most of the kinds of reports here nazi the world is adjusting the dollar will lose its status as a world reserve currency the us debt will lose the aaa rating and it's a completely different configuration and washington is not the biggest player in this if they were being mad as by somebody who knew something about economics and not barack obama financially illiterate they would allow the dollar to collapse against other currencies let the economy go through two or three years of a gut wrenching depression and they come out of it and rebuild but keep their

sovereign stance act otherwise america will end up like greece losing their sovereignty america will end up like other countries in the euro zone like ireland that's lost its sovereignty so the i.m.f. and these other backing institutions i think most americans would prefer to be sovereign and free than to be a vassal state of international bankers. you're just a second deadline for raising the debt ceiling in the west is rapidly approaching mr no solution horizon for a half a miss a k a resident hit the streets of new york to find out whether americans feel a financial apocalypse is around the corner. with the looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what does that even mean this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again and nothing happened just the negotiation process so it's idle threat i believe so do
2:06 am
you expect more from the people you like. neither party is going to let this actually happen where they would let it expire and then the united states we go into default i don't think that's going to happen i think that's a bluff but i think what actually is at hand is for real in there they're using it as leverage to push their respective issues but i think americans if i'm speaking for myself as an american are sick of it or they don't represent the reports as they think of the river representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want this market where does. anybody really what they really want what you want i would like compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrived there is a debt crisis but we'll make it through it and you know we'll pay the bills and things will be fine so all this drama i think is just making people crazy why are they doing that now i mean we raise the debt ceiling every year why is this drama unfolding right now well it's largely political because the upcoming election you
2:07 am
know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think the people are speaking up. and hopefully will get our way but sometimes it takes a while to really bad things really are i mean nobody has given any ground i've seen ideologues before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi-party america to cordy's to an airport. and we can't get anything done it's utterly embarrassing dish will be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s. debt crisis the bottom line is we're. found a lot more pasturing from all the politicians and. russell to come on a program lifting expectations flying around plane rushing these here. welcome the first steps to free the country small aircraft. restrictions and endless paperwork

a reason that people are coming out of the street if you look at how the protests started it's almost identical to how it started in egypt and in tunisia and other places started through facebook somebody who made a post on facebook through social media that's how people organize or was organized completely in the beginning by the young people in his old student people who feel that they have no future people who feel who can't afford living here in it and i was realizing that this is not the way to go forward he's trying to figure out ways to deal with it because the government could definitely fall its role and these are ground and i think he is in danger especially that the protestants are growing while israel has been under building in tel aviv in a plane all these major cities and israel is or have been overbuilding in the west bank focus of the israeli government at the moment is more sustaining the occupation was the painting this doesn't rather than caring for the majority of the population who actually closed the comment on a pulls out your creation and install a proper so that the problem here though is the still many israelis have not been

lottery and gets into the twenty five percent quota it also means that if government workers are able to identify and successfully enroll this is cool but aren't attending. schools like the ones pushing attendance now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents with concerns even raised by proponents of the our free schools have no it didn't quality and i think poor parents are much smarter than that they know quality and they want and quality is something that the principal of cushy school knows has a different definition depending on the school while the teachers want to see their students succeed they believe it integrating indian children from a lower class. into a private school would not be practical work in a boy basically it's schools have a very high standard only children whose parents are educated can study in schools like these schools want to maintain their high standards and reputation how can poor people send their children to schools like these because their parents are on
