    Seems like the plan to have everyone you know refuse to buy gas on a specific Wednesday to me.

    It's been the lead news story for about a week or so.

    read it and wow !! not that im real keen in obama or anything but he is right in some ways(did i just say that ??).On some level this might be just the spark to bring Thomas Jefferson's next revolution . But then i think about the last time united states went to war with the federal gov and we all know how well that went .
    when its all said and done im not really informed (one fox article makes me no expert )
    id like to see where this heads and how it will affect our troops and gov over seas .
    so if the fed gov gets shut down does that mean we can have full auto guns again ?

    That's kinda the point...does a fed shutdown really mean anything? It's not like there won't be air traffic controllers not showing up, the military doesn't just pack up and go home, etc... It basically means most entitlement programs are temporarily not funded and some non-essential gov't services stop. Congress still has to show up...don't know if that's good or bad.

    We have been in this same spot several times in my lifetime that I remember.

    I don't remember any actual consequences to it. as far as our muslim leader's opinion of what needs to be done, his spending habits since taking office are a big part, if not the biggest part, of the issue.

    the fact that he now thinks we need to do something to keep the BS moving down the pipe is falling on deaf ears as far as I am concerned.

    maybe when the gov't shuts down he will get the message that his check book does actually have a spending limit and he has an overdrawn account.

    I am sure that he inherited the problem

    question is will his paycheck also be placed on hold

    hide and watch on this one.

    Considering the stock market hasn't shown any freak out, I think it will all be ok. Nothing really happened the last time this came about anyway so no big worry.

    Generally speaking any non essential functions will be shut down. IRS will close, but if you filed electronically and are getting your refund electronically that should still go through. Military will still earn a paycheck, but you might not actually get paid (much like anyone furloughed). I'd guess most social security, va, etc would still go thorugh as they are automated payments. Haven't heard about DFAS but if the payment is scheduled, it'll probably go through. If not, there may be a delay.
