U.S., the agreement also cuts jobs

Why Barack Obama, speaking yesterday from the White House Rose Garden after the vote on the debt of the United States focused on employment? Because the creation of jobs must be the priority of parliamentary stars and stripes, ready to go on holiday after negotiations that have dragged on for weeks? Simple: to try to pick up the pieces of a vase now broken.

The deal, who smiles more to Republicans than to Democrats, provides a series of cuts that, according to the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, will reduce the jobs of thousands of people, public servants or not. Estimates of the old liberal studies are chilling: 1.82 million people will be unemployed due to the new austerity.
