It may happen.  It happened in 1995 as well.  None of the defense or security functions will shut down though.

EDIT: IN.

No, nothing like that.  If you didn't hear about it in the news or work for the govt. you'd probably never notice.

Other than some of the little guys not getting paid, a shut down of the Government is the best thing that can happen LOL.

However Congress still gets paid. One Senator proposed they shouldn't be during a shut-down, but he pretty quickly got SHOT down.

Hm. Congress taking a paycheck and nothing getting done? Sounds like business as usual in Washington with me.

that's normal...no matter how many new people get put into office, they are all the same...self serving.

We need to start a popular movement to impose Congressional term limits and salary caps, and strip Congress of its free ride (the houses, cars, meals, and numerous other non-essential expenses paid for by the taxpayers while in office which NEITHER party will willingly give up, AND the pension they receive upon leaving office).

No, I'm sure he was speaking about himself.

Like I said, if he works in government, it is no wonder that we are facing the challenges you see every day.  :noid

I'd start with the spelling and progress from there    :aok
