In less than two hours now, there is a chance the US Government will have a shutdown. If you're unsure what this is, read up and get out from behind your rock.

What are your thoughts on this?

You're acting like this is a bad thing. Let's go free market!

I honestly don't think these things being shut down really need government funding to begin with. I just didn't want to post my opinion in OP.

its not a shut down of the whole gov they try to make it sound worse then it is because this time its government employees taking a big hit.  Until we start running this country with some common and business sense it will only get worse.

 

IE

spending more than you take in

continuing to build national debt rather than make cuts to balance a budget

 

 

on another note im pretty fucked as i need a passport and now will likely be waiting several months

Honestly, no matter what happens - shut down or not - We are all pretty much screwed anyways. #Snowball effect

Not all government services are shut down! still have stuff like social security and airport traffic controllers and postal services. 

Sucks that we can't go to any National Parks at the moment...

Intense.

The end of the world is near men and women. Tyranny will prevail.

what does this mean government shut down??? im from the uk and dont hear alot about the us other then when they invade some middle eastern country .... anyone care to make it simple for me

I heard on the radio there's no speed limits at the moment....

 

True or false? O.o

Its happened 18 times before, and there was a scare of this within the past couple years. It's not a disaster, but it definitely has negative effects. It costs $1 billion dollars a week and puts 800,000 people out of jobs while it is shut down.
