Members of Congress plan to meet today with President Barack Obama in the White House for the fourth consecutive year, in an attempt to find a compromise that Congress passed a deficit reduction increases the national debt limit and avoid the possibility of America's debt payment arrears.

Instead, he proposed that the President use parliamentary tactics to raise the debt ceiling without the support of Republican faction.
McConnell advice was issued after a coalition of companies sent a letter to the President and Congress who warn that failure to pay debts will cause a powerful impact on the economy, and called it the risk that should not be accepted.
The letter said the two sides need to achieve long-term agreement on cutting its budget deficit to stimulate investment and job creation.
President Obama told CBS television Tuesday that he could not guarantee there will be money to fund the pensions that will be sent to the retirees on 3 August, unless agreement can be reached with a faction of the Republic of the difficult budgetary problems.

President Obama proposed a package of four trillion dollars in cuts to reduce expenses and increase revenue while Republicans said they would not approve tax increases and wants to focus only on cutting government spending.
President Obama said in a press conference, it was time to stop playing politics and deal making. He said he would refuse to sign temporary measures to resolve the debt crisis.
