距离解决美国债务危机的最后期限仅有三天时间,但是参议院针对民主党支持的提高借款限额的计划展开了激烈的辩论。
参议院多数党领袖里德称,用他的话说,唯一的办法就是在午夜之前针对该计划进行表决。
来自华盛顿,PaulAdams报道。
在通过还是阻止法案的问题上,共和党控制的众议院和民主党控制的参议院之间仍然僵持不下。
针对提高债务上限并削减政府支出达成协议的空间显然是存在的,但是这需要国会灵活的外交手段,而且肯定要求白宫的参与来确保这一点的实现。
但是华盛顿则一直担心双方不能达成协议的可能性。
财政部已经起草了紧急计划,规划出何时停止支付哪些账单。
美国驻阿富汗士兵已经开始询问上级,他们何时可以领到军饷,这或许能够反映出事态的严重程度。
