Dramatic turn in House debt vote

Endgame at hand, House Republicans on Thursday struggled to legislate to prevent an imminent government default, cutting nearly $ 1 trillion of federal spending. The Senate Democrats have promised to abolish the law - if he has - in the hope of forcing a final compromise.

As the discussion in the afternoon turned to night, GOP leaders made a high at the time inexplicable and president, John Boehner has convened a number of recalcitrant Republicans basis for his office.

. Asked what he had spoken and Boehner, Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz, said: "I think it's pretty obvious .. There are ongoing negotiations.".

Another Republican, Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, said he was unhappy Boehner was thrown into the requirement contained in previous legislation, Congress passed the balanced budget constitutional amendment and send to the states for ratification.

"Why are we negotiating with ourselves?" He asked.

It was not clear how long the delay may persist, but a spokesman for Boehner said the vote was still scheduled for later in the evening.

The White House quickly mocked Boehner are Republicans.

"The clock is ticking to the House on August 2 is the appointment of post offices, when leaders twist arms to vote for in vain. No wonder people hate Washington," White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer, Twitter.

Previously Boehner exuded optimism.

"Let us pass this bill and end the crisis," said the principal Republican opponent of the president in a controversial new era of divided government. "It increases the limit of debt and government spending cuts by a larger amount. "

President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the measure, and the debate in the House, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida is used as a "Republican plan for non-payment." He hoped that the Republican Party to "keep our economy hostage while forcing an ideological agenda" of the country.

Despite the strong rhetoric, there are signs that could be stripped stagnation.

"This area must have died before having a breakthrough," said Sen. Kent Conrad, DN.D. "We're at that stage now."

Wall Street suffered more losses than the Congress struggling to break the long impasse. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell for a fifth straight session.

The Treasury Department has moved forward with plans to hold its regular weekly auction of the values ​​of three and six months on Monday. However, officials offered no information on the measures to be taken if Congress did not raise the limit 14300000000000 debt of the nation, the next day.

Without a law signed on August 2, the Ministry of Finance has sufficient funds to pay all the bills of the nation. Administration officials have warned about the potentially catastrophic for the economy, if this happens - spike in interest rates, the stock market crash and the tightening labor market in a nation already struggling with unemployment more than 9 percent.

White House press secretary Jay Carney presented a compromise between the White House terms "significant deficit reduction, a mechanism, which Congress would have tough questions about tax reform and judicial reform and the removal of the roof of the debt for more than .. . in 2013. "

The latter seems to be the biggest obstacle.

House spending bill cuts $ 917 billion over a decade, especially the cost of maintaining hundreds of government programs by the Park Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, and foreign aid.

It also provides an immediate increase of $ 900 billion debt limit, which is less than half that required to satisfy the insistence that Obama is not repeated in the current crisis in the heat of the 2012 election campaigns.

An additional $ 1.6 billion borrowing authority would be conditioned upon the approval of at least 1.8 trillion of savings to be recommended by a newly created committee of lawmakers. These deficit reductions likely to come from cuts in benefit programs like Social Security and Medicare, and the revision of the tax code to generate additional revenue.

GOP Bills 917 000 000 000 dollars in cuts were ahead Tea Party trillion less than many legislators supported the rank and file Republican, but all that seemed almost unthinkable when they took power in the House in winter last with an agenda of reining in government. Many Republicans grumbled that the legislation does not cut deeper, and Boehner and the rest of the GOP leadership used their week cajoling reluctant to give the conservative votes needed to adopt it.

Reportedly, they succeeded.

"It gives us some heartburn, because it is not high enough," said Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., A first-term legislator who said he would vote for the draft law as the best available.

Another first-term Republican, Rep. Martha Roby of Alabama, said the bill was "far from perfect. But I do not have the luxury to write the plan myself, neither the President Boehner. "

While the White House and Democrats opposed the House bill, developed an alternative that contains similarities.

Prepared by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, it allows 2.7 trillion in additional borrowing authority for the Treasury. It also calls for reductions of $ 2.2 trillion, about $ 1 trillion Pentagon savings, assuming the completion of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Even before the House voted, Reid has indicated that it will hold a vote to eliminate the legislation almost immediately.

"No Democrat will vote for a short term band-aid that would jeopardize our economy and put the nation back into this untenable situation a few months from now," he said.

With the House and Senate focused on the debt limit legislation on opposite ends of the Capitol, eleven religious leaders protest against budget cuts were arrested in mid-Rotonde between the two chambers.

Democratic Republic of Chelli Pingree, Maine House of Commons, said he prayed for those who are "more evil", the bill is being considered.

Rep. David Dreier, R-CALIF, fighting praying. - To avoid default.

The day's events marked the culmination of the struggle that began last winter, when the Ministry of Finance announced that the Congress must borrow more authority, and Boehner said the increase should have provided for measures to reduce future costs.

Early in the White House balked at the terms, then gave way. It eventually turned into a series of bipartite negotiations, one led by Vice President Joe Biden, Obama then another, and finally a round of golf that led to push for a "grand bargain" between President and Boehner.

Boehner said on Friday that it was calling off the talks, the launching of a week of frantic maneuvering the default time approaching.

Norway suspect seeks public platform

Anders Breivik Norway and Behring wants to tell the world, because it has killed at least 93 people in the fury of bombing and shooting, but the judge hearing the case decided that Monday would be closed to the public.

Crowds packed in the Oslo Cathedral Square swelled to five minutes of silence. They were just a sound of traffic at intersections, crying seagulls, and the dog barks.

"This is so sad, so sad," said Kent Ludvigsen, 42, a square, where people are more flowers piled up on the carpet of flowers for the dead there on Friday because of the violence shocked the normally tranquil 4.8 million in March.

"This is a tragic event to see all these young people are dying from the madness of a man," said Sven-Erik Fredheim, 36, a mechanic, Reuters, near the Plaza de la Catedral.

"It is important that this moment of silence for all victims and relatives of the family know that people think about them."

Prosecutors want Breivik first eight weeks in jail - this is usually in isolation, without access to news, letters, or visitors, except for a lawyer. His expectations may be extended until the trial on terrorism charges.

Police said that the trial will be a year away. Maximum sentence in Norway is 21 years, although it may be extended if there is a risk of recurrence.

"In theory, could be in prison for the rest of his life," said Staal Eskeland, criminal law professor at the University of Oslo.

The desire for publicity

Breivik, a confessed mass murderer, his lawyer said he wants to explain his motivations at the hearing.

32-year-old, who describes himself as a crusader against the tide of Islam in a rambling 1500-page manifesto of the network, says he wants to explain his work is considered "bad" but "necessary."

The hearing, scheduled to start after 1:00 (11:00 GMT), opened a debate on freedom of expression, with many people, unlike so Breivik to explain his radical views.

More than 60,000 have signed a Facebook page called "Close the doors on Monday," calling the court to reject advertising Breivik you want.

Another Facebook group called "Boycott Behring Anders Breivik" message bar "He planned this phase of propaganda to win it does get freedom ... Boycott all media, describing the terrorist Norwegian and his faith. ".

Breivik asked to wear a uniform in court but his lawyer, Geir Lippestad, said he does not know what kind. The killer was dressed as a policeman during his shooting.

Breivik has not served in the armed forces, but in some of the pictures he posted on the Internet before his murder, he was dressed in a military-style dress.

A small group of people gathered outside the courthouse in Oslo, although they were outnumbered by journalists.

Lippestad said his client had admitted to shooting at a youth camp work and a bomb that killed seven people in the government district of Oslo, but denies criminal culpability.

"It 'been active in politics and found himself, he was unable to traditional policy instruments, and so resorted to violence," he told TV2 News Lippestad.

"I am a medical evaluation of him," he said.

Save the Earth Europe

The massacre of more than peacetime in modern history of Norway Breivik was driven by self-imposed mission to save Europe from the perceived threat of Islam, immigration and multiculturalism.

Who had surrendered to the police, when the front end is a small island Utoeya after shooting dead 86 young men to emphasize its desire to secure a public forum.

Breivik said in its manifesto, posted hours before the attack, if he survived his attack and was arrested, this would "mark the beginning of the phase of propaganda."

Norwegian newspapers focused on the victims of the shock turned to grief when the cooling of the new island of the massacre, and focusing on acts of courage that saved his life.

The main broadsheet Aftenposten has been with "pain unites Norway" and printed an image of a central Oslo with flowers and lit candles in memory of the dead.

Dagsavisen Journal asked: "Why did not you come earlier?" Citing the cries of young people as the police arrived on Friday Utoeya island - an hour after being notified of the shooting.

Breivik police believe acted alone, having lost faith in traditional political parties, even those who have gained popularity and the parliamentary seats in the anti-immigration in another liberal and tolerant of European nations, including the rich , Norway.

The attack was likely to minimize the immigration debate in front of the local elections in September, analysts said, that the parties attempt to distance themselves from beliefs and promote Breivik Norway for himself as an open process of peaceful people.

Number of immigrants in Norway have almost tripled between 1995 and 2010 to reach nearly half a million. The feeling that many documents have been produced with the generous assistance from Norway helped spur the growth of the Progress Party has become the second largest in the parliament of Norway after the 2009 elections on a platform largely anti-immigrant.

Conspiring to "resist"

Breivik was once a member of the party, but left to complain that it was too politically correct. Then he began scheming to "oppose", burying ammunition for more than a year ago, lifting weights, which can store up credit cards and explore the bombs while playing online war games.

After three months of hitting the mix fertilizer and laboriously, aspirin and the other on a remote farm, Breivik was driving a rental car full of results in the center of Oslo, on Friday, causing the device off the government offices, killing seven and smashing thousands of windows.

Then he made a small island Utoeya, 45 km (28 miles). Dressed with the police, he calmly shot down by young people of youth summer camp of the Workers Party government '. His terrified victims tried to hide behind the bed or in the woods. Some jumped into the lake and tried to swim to the mainland.

"It will be an all or nothing scenario," said Breivik magazine in its English-language online on the morning of the attack. "First comes the costume party this fall, dress like a police officer. :-) Badges will arrive with great people will be very surprised :-)."

The surgeon at the hospital who has treated 35 injured Breivik said could be used 'dum-dum "bullets in most of the damage.

"These bullets do not explode inside the body, but fragmented into pieces faster than other balls," Colin Poole, head of the Ringerike district hospital, told Reuters.

Even if he was chasing his prey on Breivik Utoeya, the police took an hour to get a team of elite troops to the island after a boat, overloaded with officers and equipment, was forced to stop when he started fetch water.

Norwegian TV has managed to rent a helicopter and shot the murderer before the police arrived. When the team arrived armed Breivik surrendered without a sigh

Navy prepares submarines for 1st female officers

Legrand is among a small group of women police officers who are forming the sites included in Groton, Connecticut, to join the elite submarine force earlier this year. Although the Navy says it is not to treat them differently from their male counterparts, officials have worked to prepare the submarine crews - and the wives of sailors - one of the most dramatic changes in the history of 111 years in the Navy "silent service."

The first class of 24 women will be divided into four submarines, where they will outnumber men by a ratio of about 1 and 25. Non-commissioned members, who represent about 90 percent of the crew of a submarine 160 that are not open to women, although the Navy is studying changes to create separate bunks for men and women.

Submarines prepare for female officers

For Ensign Peggy Legrand, the biggest concern for serving on a submarine is not to spend weeks at a time in cramped quarters with a crew of men. That concern is the review comes to breaking one of the last barriers between the sexes in the U.S. Army.

"I feel that more people will focus on us. Our mistakes and successes will be magnified more than they deserve," said Legrand, 25, graduated from the Naval Academy Amarillo, Texas.

Legrand is among a small group of women police officers who are forming the sites included in Groton, Connecticut, to join the elite submarine force earlier this year. Although the Navy says it is not to treat them differently from their male counterparts, officials have worked to prepare the submarine crews - and the wives of sailors - one of the most dramatic changes in the history of 111 years in the Navy "silent service."

The first class of 24 women will be divided into four submarines, where they will outnumber men by a ratio of about 1 and 25. Non-commissioned members, who represent about 90 percent of the crew of a submarine 160 that are not open to women, although the Navy is studying changes to create separate bunks for men and women.

The officials of the women, many of them graduates in engineering from Annapolis, used to be in the minority, and so far say they feel like strangers sentence. The school of nuclear energy is a part of their training, for example, was opened to women for years because the Navy in 1994, overturned the ban on women serving on surface ships, including nuclear power boats .

U.S. Navy Submarine School in Groton, where eight women have been dozens, who recently completed 10 weeks of basic training officer, Ensign Kristin Lyles said that the presence of a first-class females, the way a submarine duty I'm not even notice when this month of graduation.

"I understand why. Has never been explained, but it was just that if we go through training when they began to draw attention to the way it is we single out," said said Lyle, 23, of Fairfax Station, Va. "In my experience, I am not different from the man sitting next to me in all my classes."

A group spokesman of the submarine, Lieutenant Brian Wierzbicki, said the Navy would facilitate photographs and interviews with female submarine because it does not turn them away from education or getting them to feel differently their male colleagues.

Female agents submarines reportedly will begin in late November or early December. All ships are guided-missile attack submarines or ballistic missile submarines, which are relatively large submarine standards. They are the USS Wyoming and USS Georgia, is based on Kings Bay, Georgia, and the USS Maine and USS Ohio, is the front door in Bangor, Washington

On submarines with corridors wide enough for sailors to brush against each other, the six female officers on board all share a cab. Their movements will be divided so that women are assigned to each two in the crew rotation. The bathroom isolated for officers to have a reversible character, to let men know that it is in use by women and vice versa.

LeGrand said she is not worried about being outnumbered.

"Space is at a premium and there is room for everyone. Just get over it and do the job," he said in a telephone interview.

She said she is pleased with the opportunity to rejoin the community of soldiers under water, but does not stop being a barrier breaker.

"Occasionally I think about it and yes, okay, but in the end, I'm happy that I have the opportunity to serve on a submarine," he said.

Change is a source of anxiety for others, including wives of divers, who feared the close contact of the sea, the sailors could lead to cheating.

"The question is really about creating a relationship that becomes very narrow and the results in terms of relations still on the ground. That, of course, which annoys the wives. They know the kind of relationships occur among peers, "said Navy Rear Admiral WJ Holland against retired Jr., commander of submarines of age.

Holland said commanders are reluctant to have women on submarines, said the Navy has achieved a formidable challenge last year by banning smoking in submarines. The teams can adapt, he said.

The Navy has a ban on women in submarines in April 2010. In the fall, when officials announced the submarines first female elected to take senior officers held meetings with the city crew and their families to solve their problems. Wierzbicki, the Navy spokesman, said the training was provided for the crews and commanders to prepare for change.

The submarine was the last class of warship off limits to women. Navy officials said they learned a lesson from surface ships of integration is to make the transition gradually. The Navy wants to make sure you are aware of all possible problems that may arise, according to Lt. Cmdr. John Sullivan, head of the personnel policy of the navy for women.

"There will be challenges of leadership and the challenges of maturity for someone to deal with their first job. There's just an emphasis on it because they are the first submarine," said Sullivan.

The Chairman of the Advisory Committee for the Defense of Women in the Services, retired Army Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy, told a committee meeting last month that a risk is that men feel obligated and do not appreciate the presence of women.

"One of the issues surrounding women are integrated into this reflection," Oh, now, you're here, we can not do XYZ, '"says Kennedy." And this creates a greater sense of isolation and exclusion women. "

The Navy is looking to bring women on board the small Virginia-class attack sub, which requires reconfiguration to adapt to the men and women together.

LeGrand said the submarines of various missions of attack would be attractive, but the largest submarines are fine with it.

As a semi-professional cyclist, she hopes to serve on a large enough sub to bring on a stationary bike.

Why Borders couldn't avoid collapse

The last day for Borders Group Inc. is in front. The second largest country in the bookseller abandoned the last chance attempt to save the company intensified this week after a few bidders.

The nearly 400 stores remain open borders could begin to liquidate and sell assets as of Friday. The plan is for everyone to stop for good in September, leaving about 10,000 employees out of work.

There were many mistakes that caused the company to fail to take too much debt, opening too many stores and jump into the e-business players at the end. More importantly, there was a "mistake" that put the final nail in the coffin of borders, "said Howard Davidowitz Davidowitz retail experts & Associates.

"I think the biggest thing was hurting borders, when they turned to their online activities and the Amazon," says Davidowitz Ticker and the Daily Task Aaron Breakout Jeff Macke accompanying interview. "And 'ready to go, because he gave away for the future."

Speaking of the future: Where does this leave the future of the library United States, and Barnes & Noble?

With a capitalization of $ 1 billion market, the faces of Barnes & Noble (BKS) an uphill battle against Amazon (AMZN) massive 100 billion dollar valuation. But Davidowitz is not ready to put the book chain last large area down to the still.

"I do not believe in the inevitability, because I have seen many changes occur in the details," he said, pointing to his favorite retailer Wal-Mart (WMT). Not only the change of Sat Walton business from a small model of a Variety Store chain of retail discount, he grew his store unique largest retailer of Arkansas America and the employer.

Davidowitz is not to renounce the library or the United States.

"The retail industry is a change," but there is still room for the library in the heart and life for many Americans who use them as a place for meetings, gatherings and just hanging out with friends . Davidowitz said the bookstore is going nowhere fast, but we can expect to see a much of them.

As for the 10 million square feet of commercial space empty, Davidowitz predicts the large multi-level store will probably lay vacant for some time, which will put pressure on small developers and community banks in these areas. Most Borders stores will be eaten by small retailers thrive now as Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), he said.

Norway massacre suspect defends acts

Suspected right fanatic accused of killing at least 92 people consider their actions "brutal" still "need" that mourning for the victims of the worst attacks in Norway, the nation since the Second World War.

Police were hunting on Sunday to see if maybe the second shooter was involved in the killings and bombings shooting that wounded Friday normally peaceful Nordic countries.

In his first statements by a lawyer, who was arrested 32 years, the Norwegian Anders Breivik Behring has expressed his willingness to explain to the court at a hearing on Monday to extend the detention.

"He said he believes that the action was terrible, but in his mind they need," the lawyer said Geir Lippestad independent TV2 News.

Police said Breivik only after acknowledging the massacre in which at least 85 dead, mostly young people who participate in summer camp of the youth wing of the Labour Party to power in Norway on the island of idyllic.

Breivik, was also arrested for assaulting a government district of Oslo, which have killed seven people before. Not the most difficult in Norway is 21 years in prison.

Survivors, relatives of victims and supporters of a planned procession to mourn the death Sundvollen Sunday near the island where the massacre took place.

Participate in the service of King Harald in the Oslo Cathedral, a few hundred meters (yards) from where a bomb destroyed government buildings, including offices, work by Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

The police said the search for a missing a few losses could rise to 98 in the worst cases.

Lippestad, speaking at the Saturday night, did not elaborate on possible motives Breivik.

Breivik hated the "cultural Marxists" such as "crusade" against the spread of Islam and that he liked guns and weightlifting, Web communications, knowledge and responsibility.

Video posted on YouTube showed pictures of Breivik, including one of his diving suit Navy SEALs shows the type of automatic weapons.

"Before we begin our crusade we must do our duty to destroy the culture of Marxism," said the caption under the video entitled "Knights Templar in 2083" on YouTube, which removed the video Saturday.

Norway Site provides a link to a website that shows 1500 was the author says Breivik. It was not possible to verify who sent the video and wrote a book.

"If you decide to strike, it is better to kill too many than not enough, or you might want to reduce the influence of the strike ideological," said book.

Norway has always been open to immigration, which has been criticized by the Progress Party, which was briefly a member Breivik. Labour Party, Youth Camp Breivik attacked, has long been a supporter of immigration.

About 100 people were solemnly Sunday morning in an impromptu vigil near the church of the city of Oslo, laid flowers and lighted candles. Soldiers with rifles and bulletproof vests blocked streets leading to the seat of government.

"We all have pain, all fear," says Imran Shah, Pakistan Heritage taxi driver in Norway, as light rain fell during the summer in the unusually empty streets of Oslo.

"At first people thought Muslims were behind it," he said, some initial suspicions that the attacks were al-Qaeda could be in protest against the role of NATO member Norway, Afghanistan, in Iraq.

Some survivors said the horrors of shooting bullets, at least two sides.

"We're not sure" if he acted alone, police said Sveinung Sponheim. "This is one of the things the study will focus."

The police took almost 1.5 hours to stop the massacre, the worst sniper in the modern era. "The response time between when we received was fast. There are problems with the transport of the island," he said, defending the delay.

Witnesses say the shooter, dressed in police uniform, was able to unanswered for long. He chose his victims from the island northwest of Oslo Utoeya requires young people to scatter in panic or jump in a lake to swim to shore.

"I heard screams. I have heard people ask for his life, and I heard shots. Just breathe," the young members of the Labour Party Eric Gjerde course, 18 years, said Reuters.

"I was sure I was going to die," he said. "People were running everywhere. They panicked and jumped into the trees. People were trampled. "

The bloodshed was viewed as a deadly attack sniper around the modern era.

The suspect, tall, blond, owns a company called Organic Geofarm Breivik, a food company he used to buy fertilizer - perhaps to build a bomb in Oslo.

Home Grown anti-government militants struck elsewhere in the past, like the United States, where Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people, with a truck bomb in Oklahoma City in 1995.

The affected area is the heart of power in Norway. But security is not scarce in a country accustomed to this kind of violence and is best known for the Nobel Prize for peace and conflict resolution, including the Middle East and Sri Lanka.

Gang of Six Meeting and The outlook ahead

Meeting
During that time, however, Coburn was close to his Republican colleagues in the old group. As reported in Politico, Chambliss met Coburn, GOP leader of the group, on a daily basis. Since negotiations with the White House has refused Chambliss Coburn persuaded to return. He accepted, and others pleased with him.

With only weeks to go before the deadline for the debt ceiling, the band was back with a plan in hand.

The outlook ahead
It is always to be seen whether the latest plan to gain ground in Congress. And the likelihood that Congress can actually pass a version of the band plan seems quite remote at this late hour. The Congressional Budget Office nonpartisan, which determines the cost of all the bills still have to dial plan, a process that can take several days. From this point, a bill to establish the band's proposals that require a lengthy debate in the committees of Congress, and then the floor of the room and finally vote.

"This is not ready for prime time," Durbin said this week.

Legislators may be able to buy more time to a long-term task that both sides can find an acceptable means of extending the short term - even though Obama has rejected this option in the first discussions of the debt ceiling.

However, the cuts announced by the Gang of Six, after months of negotiations and drama filled, at least give lawmakers a theoretical starting point - something more than the rate of crushing debt limit negotiations were to Washington so far.

What you need to know about 'Gang of 6'




The so-called Gang of Six is ​​a bipartisan group of three Democrats and three Republican senators have the task to prepare a realistic proposal to reduce its debt and control the deficit that can pass Congress and to prevent the pen of President Obama veto. Here is a breakdown of the group.

The ‘Gang of Six’ The defection



Just as the group seemed on the verge of a game, everything was collapsing, when Coburn announced in May that he was talking about leaving. Oklahoma Senator argued that the Democrats had refused to cut welfare programs enough.

"We're at an impasse," Coburn said later.

Burning sensation of the loss of Coburn, who was probably the strongest supporter of the strategy of "banda", the Republican caucus, the group continued to meet on a weekly basis. In June, quintet opened the doors for bilateral discussions with a wider group of senators from both parties.

At this point, focus on debt reduction shifted to the Biden-led group discussions and meetings between Obama and congressional leaders.

The ‘Gang of Six’ Background History

In the second half of August due to raise the debt ceiling threat, Obama dispatched Vice President Joe Biden and his team to meet with congressional leaders earlier this summer to find a compromise to convince Republicans to raise dollars 14300000000000 debt limit of the nation. Led by Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the Republicans refused to raise taxes under any circumstances. Democrats have emphasized what they call a "balanced approach" to solve the problem, which include a mix of spending cuts, tax increases on high incomes and reducing the number of tax credits and loopholes. The meeting ended abruptly left Cantor talks in June

With negotiations at a standstill, Obama spoke for two weeks, the President called Congressional leaders to the White House negotiations that eventually dissolved.

Long before the Republicans began negotiations with the White House, but the Gang of Six had met privately with the Senate to hash a long-term plan to reduce the deficit to put the country on a more sustainable way. So they kept silent about the details surrounding the plan, they worked for months against a proposal to cut billions of 4000 dollars from the federal budget over ten years. There was hope that between Obama's call for increased taxes, and Republican demands to reduce costs, the group could be an acceptable compromise.

For a time during the spring, the probability of a plan that seemed to be high. National headlines sounded a deal was imminent: "Gang of Six is ​​closed on the deficit," wrote Hill, a newspaper in April "Gang of Six" in the compromise proposal on the deficit, "a title read Roll Call. two weeks later.

Details were poor, but they had a part: The agreement would include a reform of its law programs such as Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, we talked about reducing the cost of discretionary programs, and while considering Coburn closing tax loopholes. Group members said they were preparing a plan that could "save our country."

The group presented a plan to reduce spending $ 3.7 trillion over the next decade, including a major reform of the tax code and changes in how the federal government pays Social Security and Medicare. By eliminating loopholes and penalties in the tax code, beef proposed by the treasury more than $ 1 trillion, say the gang members.

Also plan to immediately reduce the marginal rate of income tax, eliminate the alternative minimum tax, tax brackets to create a completely new, and cut $ 80 billion for defense.

The group released details of the plan for the first time this week.

"It's probably the only plan that will always happen - or a combination of both," he told Bloomberg News this week Coburn. "This is the first step of a long process for this country to get our finances under control $ 3.7 trillion is a lot of money, but not enough -. But we will gain time to get down the road a bit changes additional to do. "

President Obama on Monday hailed the plan a "balanced approach" to reducing the deficit and debt, has encouraged several months.

"Now we have a mutual group of senators who agree that a balanced approach," Obama said. "And the American people, who agree that a balanced approach."

The plan is the result of months of intense negotiations between racks have been several attacks, starts and reversals. However, the group now believes it has recovered to provide a model that could change the way the federal government does business for decades.
