>
> 1. Rahu is debilitated in Scorpio or Vrishika, the 12th bhava of the
> national chart. This means that both major political parties in Congress are
> blinded by ideological differences. Thus, they are unable to come up with a

>
> 2. Saturn, a malefic graha, is aspecting Rahu from Kanya, the 10th bhava.
> This means that the reduction of economic growth and revenues has contributed

> 3. Mars, another malefic graha, is aspecting Rahu from Vrishaba, the 6th
> bhava of the national chart. This means that the various wars in Iraq and
> Afghanistan have contributed to the problems in deficit spending.

> 4. Ketu, another malefic graha, is debilitated in Vrishaba and in

> Thus, the USA has conducted various wars that it could not afford.

> Conclusion:

> Even though both major parties are not happy with the tentative compromise,

> The approved legislation will have many complicated terms which would require
