  The across-the-board federal budget cuts, known as the sequester 1 are to take effect next Friday. 85 billion dollars will be sliced from defence and domestic programs. Republicans and democrats 2 are trading blame for the impending 3 cuts, although both the party supported them in the last congress. They will triger to force lawmakers to negotiate different spending cuts. Education secretary Arne Duncan told CBS's Face the nation, the sequester does not give his agency any choices.

  Senior federal reserve officials got dire 4 warnings on Friday about what the expanding national debt could mean for the US central bank. Steve Beckner of Market News International, reports.
 
  Failure to curb 5 deficits 6 could present the federal reserve very tough choices.

Political pressure on the FED will amount to hold down interest rates at the cost of rising inflation. The FED met the pressure into dealing 7 assets, from its zero rate stands, fulfill 8 that its usage annual payments to the US treasury 9 would fall or even vanish. In the worst case, the FED might be forced to monetize the debts and abandon its 2% inflation target. Boston FED president Eric Rosengren, said such risks must be weighed against the economic benefits of continued FED banned buying. FOR NPR News, I'm Steve Beckner in New York.
