USA: budget Impasse with no end in sight. Obama "will not negotiate with Republicans"

The impasse continues over the u.s. federal budget. Barack Obama "is not going to negotiate with Republicans over the need for Congress to act to reopen public services or raising the debt limit ceiling to pay the Bills," said the White House after the President had been in session in the Oval Office for more than an hour, with Congressional leaders.

Outside the meeting, the Republican leader of the House of representatives insisted on the line that the party has been following: asked "just a discussion" about Obamacare and said hoped that "the President and fellow Democrats in the Senate listen to the American people and sit down at the table for a serious discussion about how to resolve the differences," said John Boehner.

The discussion about the budget blends with the negotiation about the increase in the debt ceiling, which will have to be extended later this month, under penalty of the United States into default for the first time in history.

Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic minority leader in the House of representatives considers that "the debate on the debt ceiling should be removed from the table," because "the United States will always honor their commitments".

With non-essential public services closed indefinitely, the dispute on the street promises to increase, something which, according to analysts, could lead the Republican party to cede.

"In a political battle in which so much is at stake, it's hard to figure out an easy way out and there will be victims. The former are already thousands of federal civil servants and their families. Have bills, rents and mortgages to pay. Each day that passes without pay are closer to the abyss. “
