abcnews.go.com/Politics/government-shutd...rs/story?id=20424204

Guys i read about this situation in the states . What the hell is going on ? Checked the rand dollar and no significant changes .

How the fuck does government "close "?

Can anybody shed some light on the implications of this scenario !

Happened about 11 times in the past 15 years, on average during these times markets have remained flat. In the month directly after the s&p index had gone up 2, 5 on average.... Don't panic

Bargaining tool, they are basically holding Obama to ransom to get something changed

Ignorance/horseracing is bliss !!!

Thanks flaunt !

I am in the shacks next to Nkandla , at leat you have lights, we have no food and even drinking water <

Rand has weakened against all major currencies gold , silver , platinum ,palladium all down significantly:S

Simply been dollar strength,employment numbers in the states have been good , and the housing price index numbers last week were good. Our currency has been under pressure for weeks, the strike action gave it momentum.

Obama has to ask Congress if he can sleep with Michelle. Democracy gone overboard.

The funny thing is that there is NO WAY they can stop Obamacare, in fact Obamacare was rolled out Yesterday. This bill does not need government funding as of right now it is self sustaining (not perpetually mind you). So Obamacare is happening with or without the Republicans. This is simply the Tea baggers um I mean party stomping their little feet in protest. This is what happens when you have the one party in the senate and another in the house........

Actually flaunt, the last time this happened was in 1995-1996 for I believe 28 days? this was the longest shutdown in US history (a fight between clinton and gingrich) about mainly medicare........Two HUGE egomaniacs slugging it out at the cost of approximately $1 billion a day.

It does however happen more often than you think. The major issue in my mind is the debt ceiling which has now been reached. If they don't lift the ceiling then the US will default on some of their financial commitments......that is NOT good

Sleep well dear friends!

But all the congressmen get paid thier salaries during this its only the workers that dont ... real democracy
