This thread is an effort to discuss detailed analysis of International News, Politics, Business, Culture, Health, Technology, etc. In other words, its purpose is to discuss the cause and effects of events and not to simple present news pieces.

With some interest from everyone this thread may yield interesting discussions.

Let me just say that I am disappointed with the both parties in the American Government on this debt issue. Grow up. It effects everyone in the country. This is a serious issue lets not argue who is right and who is wrong.

From what I understand, the arguement is simply about where money should be saved and the divisions are the same as always.

I think that is the most of it. Also maybe how much to cut. I don't know every single detail. However they've had plenty of time and August 2nd is days away. A deal should've been made by now.

It's all about getting the better deal. However, the group that will appear to cause more problems will be wiped out in the next election.

At this point its about getting A deal done. Not what is better. Honestly both groups have caused many problems.

Since there are a lot of Americans in this union...

It is my belief that taxes should never have been reduce in the first place because taxes goes into public services or becomes refunded. 

Yet, many Americans have a predisposition against taxes.

Personally I think they need to think of it as the government as a sort of business.

A government is not a business! A business is all about profit. If a business is getting into hard time then it will fire people. A government is suppose to help the majority of the people.

The system is just very slow and not very efficient.

That is correct. However spending so much money has not helped the majority of the people.

That's because you have government always cutting taxes, which hurts the government because it doesn't calibrate its spending. Every president advocating smaller governments have made larger governments.

Looks like a bill will pass.

Anyhow, I'm reading that Mubarak is actually going to court. Considering his health, I'll be surprise if he survives the whole ordeal. I wonder what kind of sentence he'll receive since they didn't allow him to live in unofficial exile.

For some reason I didn't really follow the news much lately. I do remember however a cameraman got shot in Somalia and died there a last week.
