The trouble is that party politics is getting in the way of them actually sorting this mess out, they're all looking to score political points from it instead of actually trying to sort out the situation. The Republicans are being too stubborn, they're refusing any increase in taxes despite them being at their lowest for years and only want to reduce the deficit through spending cuts, but those cuts would have to be huge to actually sort the problem out

Both parties are just focusing on the fact that an election is approaching, I just hope the US doesn't end up having to default on their debt unnecessarily
