US shutdown: a guide for non-Americans

[elis]

Its not the question of evictions in France which by the way you do have them. Its the question of affordability of renting and owning.

Oh please stop arguing against the obvious

I'm afraid I don't speak French, so your video says very little to me. Yes, there are evictions, but that doesn't change US or French homeless statistics. I'm not saying that I'm satisfied with the number of homeless in the US. If I had my way, it would be 0%, but the suggestion that the United States has homelessness rivaling third world countries has little basis in the truth.

So you can't see the people beeing evicted? Does it really need a french understanding?

The truth is that you the atlantist coalition treat everybody of terrorists or want to invade everybody to help them, but it's you the terrorists and the people that need help

Are you kidding? In France we don't have evictions like you have. In USA you have been totally been owned by the banksters
It's very sad

You have evictions in France, it's just that the courts are so clogged up the process is long. And noone gets evicted in the winter time and if the family has many kids the police can refuse participation in the eviction process.

Hey...France is a paradise. They have good cheese to go with their whine over there. So there is nothing wrong with France. The US just need to protect France, that is all.

But you see it's a real problem in america. Of course in France there are evictions but not industrially like in the USA.
They evict the people and reput the houses for sale, it's a real bank crook.

US lawmakers close to deal to end 14-day-old shutdown

WASHINGTON: As the US inched closer to an unprecedented debt default, US lawmakers held a flurry of negotiations and expressed optimism over a potential deal that could end the government shutdown, raise the debt ceiling and avert a crisis that may trigger a global economic turmoil.

US senators say they are closing in on a deal that would reopen the government and push back a possible debt default for several months, though many hurdles remain.

Senate majority leader Harry Reid said he and his Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell, have "made tremendous progress. We are not there yet".

"We hope that with good fortune ... that perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day," he said from the Senate floor.

Reid and McConnell are trying to reach an agreement that would end the 14-day-old shutdown and lift the debt limit before the US Treasury exhausts the nation's remaining borrowing capacity on October 17, raising the risk of default.

"We've had a good day, we had a good day yesterday," McConnell said.

"It's safe to say we've made substantial progress and we look forward to making more progress in the near future.

"I share [Reid's] optimism that we we're going to get a result that will be acceptable to both sides," he said on the Senate floor.

The new deal, if struck, would last until February 2014.

The plan under discussion would raise the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling by enough to cover the nation's borrowing needs at least through until mid-February 2014.

According to US media, the deal currently under discussion would fund the government until January 15 while raising the debt ceiling until early to mid-February.

Any deal would also have to win approval in the House of Representatives, where conservative Republicans have insisted any continued government funding must include measures to undercut president Barack Obama's signature health law - a nonstarter for Democrats.

The deal would not resolve the disagreements over long-term spending and health care that led to the crisis in the first place.

"If Republicans aren't willing to set aside their partisan concerns in order to do what's right for the country, we stand a good chance of defaulting, and defaulting could potentially have a devastating effect on our economy," Obama said earlier.
