A PEW survey out the yesterday shows that 57% (up from 48% of respondents) are very concerned over the economic impact of the shutdown and 51% believe that raising the debt ceiling by tomorrow is “absolutely essential”. 36% think there’s no problem with going passed the deadline.
The shift of blame has seen the Republicans come ut on top with 46% laying the blame at their door, up from 38% prior. Obama is only 37% at fault up from 30%.

Is payment prioritization is technically possible?

annatimone Posted 11 Ott  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #USD #Obama #Ud Debt #Ud Dollar #Us Government #Default
The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution would allow President Obama to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling. However, White House advisor Gene Sperling on Rtrs.

Spot on assessment Anna T. More can kicking is assured as are initial market tensions prior to application of the latest 'bandaid' :) Times are certainly peculiar when your favourite smartphone manufacturer holds more liquid fiat than the federal purse.
