(18,768 posts)Any shutdown will be over within 30 days max.
It may affect the economy, but not to the point of a depression.

(18,768 posts)Now, if the shutdown is accompanied by a default on the debt, a depression is definitely possible.
But a shutdown alone, no.
Previous shutdowns didnt even trigger a recession.
While the Freedom caucus might want to burn it all down, the rest of the republicans dont have the stomach for it and know an extended shutdown will guarantee they lose the WH and their majority next year.

(34,728 posts)Thanks for that.
My rebuttal is that ultimately this is Trumps shutdown. The second law of Trump is that anything he touches turns to shit. So, I guess well have to see where this leads.

The GrOPpers manage to push back a meaningless shutdown until after the VA elections. Well, most elections. So, that's a win for them, they live to screw up another day.
The Democrats voted against their own best interests.
All they had to do was hold Kev hostage.

When they go low, we go high and get the rug pulled out from under us.
Sorry.
