Lack of Leadership in the USA

I’m amazed over the lack of leadership in the US right now. How can the leaders of the most powerful nation in the world behave so immaturely playing silly political games instead of acting as forceful leaders? It is outright shocking and a total lack of understanding of the seriousness of the situation. A few hundred politicians are jeopardizing the future of the people of the US of America and for the rest of us. They have awakened the fear that US will not pay its obligations. Rating is defined “as capacity and willingness to pay your obligations” according to the CRA. What is the capacity and willingness of the US leadership to solve this situation?

One could expect that in a situation like this the political leadership would unite – in good time – to find a solution. Now it is far overdue and therefore most of the collateral damage has occurred. And what has been won? If they finally solve this problem 1 minute to 12 it would anyway have created a doubt of the willingness of the US to pay its obligations.
