I'm hoping it will.

As in, I've bought party favors already.

You need the government to shut down for party favors?

Either way, everyone wins

I don't care, I will be happy if they all commit suicides.

I've been saying this would be the best thing for our government for years.

It is a bunch of grandstanding.

The "debt ceiling" is completely arbitrary, they can raise it anytime they want to. Obamacare is a scam, I hope it dies.

USPS is very unaccountable, though. i have had many lost packages, and even with insurance/delivery confirmation, they never pay out for lost packages and they never make any effort to find them. they are worlds below Fedex and UPS in this regard.

Not affected. Don't care.

Well - unless the USPS needs operational funding they pretend they don't receive and makes service cuts. Then I'd be slightly affected.
Hey USPS is a for profit entity.
So they said they wouldn't work on sundays or something, no biggie.
What I'm talking about is people living on section 8 housing, getting welfare and foodstamps.
welfare is also 99 weeks. Who the heck takes 99 weeks to find a job?
Or corporations such as GE getting green technology subsidies.
Or the military's bloated budget.
There is a lot of room for cutting.

We're not going to go to Syria, we're not going to go to Iran and we're not going to start talking about global warming.
We're going to sit down and talk about the budget and find a way to cut it.
Its going to be done either the easy or the hard way.

No, just the threat of the shutdown will be used to "justify" further taxing all law-abiders closer to bankruptcy.

It won't happen in any real sense. If it happens, it won't be prolonged, and not many people will really feel it. This is all just like some retarded little game show. Pathetic, really.....

I don't see why they should bother; it's not like they're going to talk their way out of trillions upon trillions of dollars of debt anytime soon, shutdown or not.

But it would be interesting to see.  I slept through Y2K, so I may as well stay awake for this.

They won't let it happen, this panic has happened before and it all got fixed right at the last minute, I think they like doing this to build up hype and make people think they can come together and do something once in awhile.

I think it will
Last time it happened during CLinton's presidency in Nov 1995 to Jan 1996.
