A meningitis scare; breast cancer awareness month commences around the world; medical professionals are called to Capitol Hill to testify on the Romney-Ryan budget regarding the future of Medicare; the government closes their books with a $1.1 trillion deficit for the year and the presidential debate. This and more is this week’s Week in Pictures.

As the government closes the books Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012, with a $1.1 trillion deficit for the year, which required borrowing 32 cents for every dollar it spent, budget analysts have little confidence in either President Barack Obama’s or Mitt Romney’s plan to address the accumulating debt, now at about $16 trillion.
