6:03 pm
hello and a very warm welcome from all of us here in moscow this is all she was me thanks for joining is us lawmakers are to vote shortly on an emergency deal to raise the country's debt ceiling and avoid a potentially devastating default agreement is fine it's trying between democrat and republican leaders after weeks of stalemate and political wrangling now they have to persuade those days leading congress to agree with opposition to the. however in both parties. reports now on the last minute hunting still underway on capitol hill. lawmakers did finally hash out a deal party leaders with the white house the house of representatives is expected to vote this evening of course the house is a little bit more tricky there's
6:04 pm
a lot more folks over there and in order to get this legislation to pass the republican leader john boehner will actually need two hundred and sixteen votes he does not have that from his own party a lot of conservatives say frankly the cuts in this deal just not enough for them and so in order to get this legislation to pass in order to prevent the u.s. from a first ever default they will need at least sixty six democrats to sign on board and now we've seen actually the vice president joe biden has been dispatched to capitol hill this afternoon to sort of tell democrats you got to get behind this you know this isn't a raw deal for you a lot of those folks are criticizing the legislation because they say hey there's no revenue raisers we can't get enough money through this deal in order to pay for all of our obligations and now of course the senate the other chamber here in the u.s. congress is also expected to vote on this the timing is a lot more tricky on this but the majority leader harry reid does expect for some sort of vote this evening there is a lot of criticism i mean standard and poor has said that they might not they might
6:05 pm
not be willing to keep the u.s. prize aaa rating as it is regardless of what comes out of this they don't think the cuts go deep enough and quite frankly this kind of last minute negotiating really taking the nation to the brink of default right against the clock is it's not a positive sign for the markets for other financial watchers it's quite an embarrassment here in the u.s. and please let's we all have to keep in mind that this whole debate over the debt limit it really is about previous spending spending that the united states has already agreed to make it does not address the bigger deficit problem and the long term picture the long term fiscal health. of the united states. and right now it's the norm that turns debate in washington when now joined by men that politics reporter from the business insider magazine in new york thank you very much indeed for your time so the politicians in washington have branded the deal of historic would you agree with that i think it is it in
6:06 pm
a sense it's the first time that that increase in the debt limit has been paired with significant spending reductions in terms of the scale the spend it would options if they do if congress does carry through their mess promised these are significant cuts historic cuts truly to everything from defense. discretionary spending which is the amount of government funding. it chooses to spend as opposed to things like health care and social security for the elderly these really are significant and historic cuts. ok yeah how much resentment do you expect this bill to try and who might oppose it. right now we're seeing opposition really on both sides of the aisle progressive. black caucus as well as the house progressive caucus that both held press conferences both released statements in opposition to this plan and particularly because of these spending
6:07 pm
cuts without revenue increases fat tax increases on the wealthy so they're saying this isn't fair we're cutting those who need the help most also cutting government spending during that shouldn't happen. so these new state opposition on the left as well as on the right where the key part of the tea party caucus in particular what like to see a balanced budget amendment to the constitution. that already government spending needs to be balanced in every given year. that's not going to happen they'll be a vote on that but that will pass through congress and they want to see a guarantee before the debt limit is increased so there's opposition or impulse. sides of the aisle. in congress are trying to get this coalition of moderates both democrats and republicans to back this. don't you feel that the lawmakers have the toughest decisions for late today from your point.
6:08 pm
all right looks like we just lost him sorry about that. let's move on now and even the congress approves the compromise might not be enough for ratings agencies he may downgrade america's aaa credit score the highest possible rankings and. skies it believes that whatever the outcome of the buy it it's fine will once again be there when it is. all of the proposals on the table all dead and that's the basic underlying theme the u.s. treasury bond market will be downgraded it will no longer carry that aaa rating no matter what they decide and this is exactly what wall street banks want you don't make much money trading aaa rated u.s. government debt the spreads are very tight and there's not much money to be made traders on wall street what i call the nine eleven crybabies like jamie diamond or
