establishment<\/em> \u00e0 faire des concessions dans le sens que lui-m\u00eame r\u00e9clame (r\u00e9duction des d\u00e9penses publiques) ; et, demain, c’est une nouvelle crise (par exemple, une impossibilit\u00e9 d’entente d’ici d\u00e9cembre au sein de la super-commission du Congr\u00e8s, ou au Congr\u00e8s lui-m\u00eame, sur les nouvelles r\u00e9ductions de d\u00e9penses pr\u00e9vues par l’accord sur la dette) qui conduira aux automatismes pr\u00e9vues, qui pr\u00e9voient notamment des r\u00e9ductions des d\u00e9penses militaires. Il est pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable, conclut Eland, d’avoir un blocage du pouvoir plut\u00f4t que, selon son point de vue, le mauvais pouvoir du Syst\u00e8me Donc, vive la crise !<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abAlthough President Barack Obama may have won over some key independent voters for the 2012 election by successfully painting the tea party Republicans as extremists responsible for the protracted debt-ceiling gridlock, the outcome for the nation of that policy and media circus may not be so bad.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe good news is that the tea party was able, for the first time in history, to hold hostage the vote on elevating the already humongous $14.3 trillion national debt in order to win meaningful spending cuts<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbSecond, by later this year, a bipartisan congressional committee is supposed to find other ways to reduce future budget deficits by an added $1.5 trillion over 10 years. The bad news is that this could allow tax increases, as well as further spending cuts. However, if the committee of six Democrats and six Republicans from the House and Senate deadlocks and can’t agree on what fiscal changes to make, or the entire Congress does not adopt the committee’s recommendations without amendment in an up-or-down vote, the heinous punishment, which is always dreaded in Washington, will be across the board spending cuts. Regrettably, the cuts are not really so across the board as advertised, because Social Security, Medicaid, veterans benefits, and civil and military pay are exempt from such cuts. (Cuts in payments to Medicare providers, such as hospitals and nursing homes, is allowed.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbYet the good news is that if the committee can’t reach an agreement on the fiscal changes, or if Congress rejects its work, defense (including homeland security) and domestic programs have to take equal cuts. Such further fiscal deadlock, which seems very possible, would ensure that taxes would not be increased and defense would likely take a larger percentage of cuts than without the stalemate. Thus, continued partisan gridlock maybe the best outcome of all.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
