A government shutdown is looming on our horizon –a “tomorrow horizon”–because there is no 2011 budget. Congress cannot agree. There has to be compromise.
What will be the impact of a government shut down? The last one was in 1995. How many readers think it doesn’t matter if the government is shut down?
We know that national parks and museums will be closed. But will government employees get paychecks? How about the military? How about social security checks? Will Congress still get their paychecks? Will all the support staff go home?
The blame game won’t work. Will there be an emergency extention or will things grind to a halt tomorrow?
