@kizee1 , there are two issues you could be confusing:
1.Passing of a budget by the US congress before 1 st October ,which failed leading to the shut down of government.
2.Raising of the debt ceiling which should be done by 17th October.
You cannot discuss how much to borrow without a budget, can you. The budget will help in establishing the deficit, then borrowing can be done.

How will key departments be affected by the so-called "lapse of appropriations"? http://www.bbc.co.uk/new...orld-us-canada-24302508

Why the assumption that "Kenya will be affected", in a negative way?, perhaps there are opportunities for Kenya to benefit from this, maybe they will even come to borrow money here, sell us there government securities, technology, build a road here or something, why the assumption that if US sneeze we must catch a cold? Please explain. In any case if the problem is REAL then the REAL solution is painful, there are many Americans working for US gaarment who will not get their salaries this month so it is REAL, and it is already pinching.
