The VA shutting down, no federal backed loans, no VA loans, no IRS audits, museams and parks close, 400k civilian defense workers....
We wont notice it at our office, but my friends in the park service on furlough sure do.
There are several articles like this currently:
"66. What about the stock market? The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 3.7% during the 1995-96 government shutdown, according to S&P Capital IQ. Stocks quickly rebounded after the government got back to work, rising 10.5% the month after the shutdown ended."
Seems like a good way for your rich buddies to make some extra cash in the market, at the expense of the american tax-payers. Of course, money doesn't motivate congress at all, this is about 'sending a message'.
