A federal shutdown is looking more and more likely.
Aaannd, there goes the stock market.
There may be some opportunity for short term profits. Keep your eyes peeled.
Politically, I don't see how a Dec 21 shutdown would happen. Until the next Congress is seated in January, this is 100% Republican control. The Republicans don't want to hit January 3rd with the Federal government already shut down for 2 weeks. Politically, they want to be able to blame a Democratic Congress for anything that goes wrong. They'll at least fund it into January.
The founding fathers believed strongly in small, limited government. With this in mind, I look forward to a government shutdown. The longer it drags on, the better. Businesses that depend on government will learn to operate in the free market, or else.
we need term limits.... these guys stay in longer than a pope it wasn't set up that way.....and after too many years...they do whats best for them and not the people they represent....
too many snakes in congress looking out for themselves..
