loans which amounts to a huge tax hike on the american people as we count down near zero all three big reading drawing in movies rich and standard and poor's threatened america's hollowed triple a score unless a deal with hammered out and that fourteen point three trillion dollar debt getting higher economists say america's unsustainable budget deficits are the biggest threat to the nation it's like the batteries worn out the smart phones don't work the towers are at all of this and so what we're trying to do is say we've got a little bit of money in the bank let's pay that debt down but we're not doing anything to fix the economy and so we're putting ourselves in a bigger and bigger hole not just because of the debt but really because we're not creating any way to get out of the debt instead a u.s. president repeatedly asked americans over the past week or two during the campaign to borrow and spend more make

a phone call sent an e-mail tweet keep the pressure on washington and we can get this while the eyes of the world have been following the heated saga playing out between u.s. politicians the main problem not going away is america's debt and the growing realisation that elected officials may never be capable of agreeing on how to solve it. r.t. new york. experts and investment opportunities in the unpopular and distressed markets told r.t. that american lawmakers a good grade for the u.s. economy. they're going to have more and more money printing the debt is going to go through the roof and if you look at the projections from the bank for international settlements in a recent paper they've stated that twenty four to america's interest payments on the federal debt will account for twenty seven percent of g.d.p. so all this talk of cutting deficits and bringing the dead back in order is just
2:06 am
nonsense it's political juggling i like to see it happen the army is that eighty percent of the spending in the mandatory spending already now exceeds tax revenue so even if they try to cut the budget or the expenditure they would have to default because the mandatory or the come grocery spending obligations which the u.s. government can get down on exceed the tax revenues or somehow the other the u.s. government will have to default on its obligations the worst lose a lot of all of this i think is the u.s. dollar the u.s. doesn't deserve a aaa credit rating it is a joke if you look at this violence is of the u.s. the federal debt now accounts for roughly ninety six percent of g.d.p. and as far as i can see there is no way this that's going to come down and the u.s. has no business getting a aaa rating and when other people come to the same conclusion as i do then i think there could be a rout in the bond market and as mr obama was alluding to earlier we could see seriously higher interest rates and a serious weakness in the u.s.

dollar which is obviously very bullish for commodities and precious metals such as gold and silver. but meanwhile economics expert max rogoff says the compromise achieved by u.s. legislators really changes the speed of that growth without solving the bigger problem. this whole crisis started as an opportunity of political theater these guys couldn't even choreograph success out of their fake crisis and so now we have a huge international failure which has already gone possibly lasting and certainly serious damage to the standing and reputation of the united states of america how hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plant out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows all the showdown all this fanfare is about changing the exact forecasts ten years speed of that growth 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 that will only reshift focus on to the more important long term issues of the absolute in sustainability of being committed which we are committed to having insufficient revenue for the amount of spending that we're going to be doing for the forseeable future while having a fourteen point three trillion dollars national debt this process itself has and continues to hurt the faith and credit the world has in the united states. but it's a fragile fed chief economist that's doing press capital talking to what he felt. now washington and germany are threatening to take decisive action against the syrian regime which eventually killed more than a hundred people on sunday government forces raided the city of hama with tanks working havoc on the opposition stronghold he said latest round of crackdown on protesters calling for president bashar al assad to step down. and a half thousand people a second question since so much gerri is calling for an emergency session of the

security council to convene on monday syria is already under a said you sanctions but some a president who is association thinks the west doesn't have the credibility to do serious bass. the interference of the outside world in my view can be counterproductive unless it is done properly rather than just making these wild statements like for instance the usa would decide whether the president of syria is next in the sea or not everybody is asking what right do the americans have to put this question anyway let alone deciding it but they seem to be doing this selectively they have done it with syria in a panic with libya but of the same time they have not done it with yemen they have not done it with other places where there is uprising including. when president obama says what he's saying everybody in syria and out of world will be here to
