ü  The general financial and economic crisis installed since 2008, has at present a new factor: the impasse between President Obama and Senators of the Republican Party.  The situation of government´s shutdown, which is not entirely new, occurs actually after 15 days of public discussions between them.  The end seems not to be so clear.

ü  The main losers are the working class and the poor people, including the young people and the millions of recipients of the Women, infants and Children (WIC) food assistance programs.

ü  The American and the international press, are trying to hide the real situation of not only the thousands government employees, but also of the many protests inside the United Sates.

ü  The other main trouble in discussion, related to Medicare and Social Security, are the called Obama-care proposal to be in effect on January 1, 2014 and which affects directly to millions of families inside the U S which are linked to the health of the American people.

ü  In a recent meeting of the ASEAN Summit (US, China and Asian countries), when interchanging points of view about situation on the South China Sea, arose incidentally, a problem related with the principal owners of the American State Bonds: China and Japan, and the possible implications if the US dollar situation ends with a default in the present US financial crisis.

ü  Depending on the end of present situation, many countries may be affected, especially to those who have their National Reserves in US dollars.
