Thread: What Will a Gov't Shutdown Mean for the Market?

    Issue about not getting compensated for pay during any furlough days concerns me as I am one of those "essential" workers (1811). (At least they called us "essential" during the 90's shutdown.) OH well, maybe we all should become day-traders!

    Well I believe I can say with the greatest confidence that 'If the MARKETS would take a brief dive off a high cliff'....

    It won't have anything to do with a government 'shut-down'.

    The MARKETS have settled in very cozy with the idea that millions and millions will remain either unemployed or under employed.


    But as I told my kids over the weekend: 'The gap between those who live paycheck to paycheck and those who don't will likely stand out a lot more in the months to come. Global changes may push up the price of GAS.'

    I voted UP

    With Government outta the way Capitilism should thrive!
    I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.

    That was the issue last time - they are obligated to pay people who have to work. The problem was, it would cost more to sort out who worked and who was on furlough (partially because the decision is on an agency by agency basis) than it would cost to pay everyone.

    A very good writeup in Federal Times about what happens when a government shutdown occurs. I will not post any excerpts of it here due to my feelings about Federal Times and their anti-human being overly agressive copywrite pursuit policies-

    but I'll give you this link- just add http:// to the front end of it.

    federaltimes.com/article/20110228/AGENCY01/102280301/1001

    and you'll have some good information.
