奥巴马，美国债务谈判火炬顶端的敌人交锋了
由Olivier诺克斯|法新社 - 1小时0分钟前
奥巴马总统发生冲突尖锐，最紧张会谈，以避免一场毁灭性的八月初美国拖欠债务有关的全球性后果的严峻警告燃烧中的共和党敌人。
美联储主席贝南克表示，默认情况下会陷入“重大危机”，经济，而评级机构穆迪警告美国可能失去英镑三重上上升一个短期的默认风险债务评级。
默认会“扔在整个全球金融体系的冲击波”和风险发送脆弱的美国经济进入一个新的经济衰退，美国联邦储备委员会主席告诉一个关键的国会委员会。
奥巴马，谁是举行第五次连续第二天下午4:15（2015 GMT）周四与共和党人和同事民主党人的谈判，计划采取股票上周五看似僵持的过程，一个民主的助手说。
“周五不是一个硬性的最后期限，”助手告诉记者，有争议的讨论后，结束了他们的第四天，但“时间紧迫，他们必须得到这个工作。”
奥巴马需要众议院共和党主导的众议院和民主党举行的参议院签署一个协议，关闭打哈欠的美国贸易赤字，同时让囊中羞涩的华盛顿8月2日的最后期限过去借用。
按下有一个全面的处理，最后通过他2012年竞选连任总统，发送财政部长盖特纳介绍参议院民主党人周四谈判的状态。
奥巴马曾呼吁亲爱的民主党人的社会安全网计划的削减，而对富人加税的推进，否决了由共和党人谁负责这样做一步将扼杀投资和压榨已经疲软的就业增长。
沸腾星期三与奥巴马，紧张激烈的拒绝，共和党众议院多数党领袖Eric Cantor的挂靠在削减开支的短期交易的推动，根据主要的共和党和民主党的助手。
奥巴马说，他将否决这样一个权宜之计，警告康托“不叫我的虚张声势”，并宣布自己准备把他的情况下美国选民，约定双方的助手，谁不愿透露姓名的事件。
共和党幕僚形容奥巴马攻坚会议在一怒之下，而他们的民主说，总统的训斥离开领唱者的惩戒和说不出话来。
“我已经达到我的极限，这可能使我担任主席的，但我不会屈服在此，”根据一个共和党助手。
总统的消息是“足够的装腔作势，他说：”够了。“他没有突然走出，他与会议做，每个人都做与会议，和他离开，说：“民主党的助手。
共和党众议院议长约翰博纳的助手暗示，国会议员准备接受一个短期的处理，在削减开支超过债务限额的增加和增税表。
一个头痛医头，脚痛医脚的转变，可以清楚的方式制作了一个计划，由共和党参议院少数党麦康奈尔，其建议将有效地与民主党的票，得不到保障，削减开支的债务限额上升。
领导的民主党和白宫迎接他的建议下，仔细，但目前还不清楚，该计划是否会反弹足够通过划分的美国国会共和党的支持。
共和党已经接受了财政纪律，奥巴马上任以来，经过多年中，他们支持大规模减税，并拒绝支付在阿富汗和伊拉克的战争或在昂贵的一种流行的保健计划增加。
奥巴马呼吁日常的会谈中达成协议，解除美国的债务上限，现在$ 14.29万亿美元，预计今年达到1.6万亿美元的财政赤字面前，。
5月16日，美国打的上限，并已用于支出和会计调整，以及高于预期的税收收入，不影响政府的义务，继续经营。
但8月2日，政府将开始预提支付给债券持有者，公务员，退休人员或政府承办商。
一个默认的前景导致穆迪降级手表放在美国国债，理由是谈判可能无法达到时间处理“防止错过的未偿还债券和票据的利息或本金支付的前景。”
“穆迪认为，支付利息违约的概率要低，但不再是微量的，”该机构说。

President Barack Obama clashed sharply with a top Republican foe as tense talks to avert a ruinous early August US debt default flared up amid grim warnings about the global consequences.
US central bank chief Ben Bernanke said a default would plunge the economy into "major crisis," while ratings agency Moody's warned the United States may lose its sterling triple-A debt rating on rising risks of a short-term default.
Default would "throw shockwaves through the entire global financial system," and risk sending the fragile US economy into a new recession, the US Federal Reserve chairman told a key congressional committee.
Obama, who was to hold a fifth straight day of negotiations with Republicans and fellow Democrats at 4:15 pm (2015 GMT) Thursday, planned to take stock of the seemingly stalemated process on Friday, a Democratic aide said.
"Friday is not a hard deadline," the aide told reporters after the contentious discussions wrapped up their fourth day, but "the clock is ticking, they have to get this done."
Obama needs the Republican-led House of Representatives and Democratic-held Senate to sign off on a deal to close the yawning US deficit while allowing cash-strapped Washington to borrow past an August 2 deadline.
The president, who has pressed for a comprehensive deal to last through his 2012 reelection campaign, was sending Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to brief Senate Democrats Thursday on the state of the negotiations.
Obama has called for cuts to social safety net programs dear to Democrats while pushing for tax hikes on the rich, a step rejected by Republicans who charge doing so will smother investment and crush already weak job growth.
Tensions boiled over Wednesday, with Obama heatedly rejected Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's push for a short-term deal anchored on spending cuts, according to key Republican and Democratic aides.
Obama said he would veto such a stopgap measure, warned Cantor "don't call my bluff," and declared himself ready to take his case to US voters, agreed aides on both sides, who described the events on condition of anonymity.
Republican aides described Obama as storming out of the meeting in a huff, while their Democratic counterparts said that the presidential rebuke left Cantor chastised and speechless.
"I've reached my limit. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this," according to a Republican aide.
The president's message was "enough posturing, he said 'enough is enough.' He did not abruptly walk out. He was done with the meeting, everyone was done with the meeting, and he left," said a Democratic aide.
An aide to Republican House Speaker John Boehner later signalled that the lawmaker was prepared to accept a short-term deal in which spending cuts outweigh the debt limit increase and tax hikes are off the table.
The shift to a stopgap could clear the way for a plan crafted by Republican Senate Minority Mitch McConnell, whose proposal would effectively see the debt limit rise only with Democratic votes and without guaranteeing spending cuts.
Leading Democrats and the White House greeted McConnell's proposal carefully, but it was unclear whether the plan would rally enough Republican support to pass the divided US Congress.
Republicans have embraced fiscal discipline since Obama took office, after years in which they backed massive tax cuts and rejected paying for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq or a costly increase in a popular health care program.
Obama has called for daily talks to reach a deal to lift the US debt ceiling, now at $14.29 trillion, in the face of a budget deficit expected to hit $1.6 trillion this year.
The US hit the ceiling on May 16 and has used spending and accounting adjustments, as well as higher-than-expected tax receipts, to continue operating without impact on government obligations.
But by August 2, the government will have to begin withholding payments to bond holders, civil servants, retirees or government contractors.
The prospect of a default led Moody's to place US debt on a downgrade watch, citing prospects that talks may not reach a deal in time to "prevent a missed payment of interest or principal on outstanding bonds and notes."
"Moody's considers the probability of a default on interest payments to be low but no longer to be de minimis," the agency said.
