A shutdown of the U.S. government would reduce fourth-quarter economic growth by as much as 1.4 percentage points depending on its length, economists say, as government workers from park rangers to telephone receptionists are furloughed.
Mark Zandi of Moody’s Analytics Inc. estimates a three-to-four week shutdown would cut growth by 1.4 points. Zandi projects a 2.5 percent annualized pace of fourth-quarter growth without a shutdown. A two-week shutdown starting Oct. 1 could cut growth by 0.3 percentage point to a 2.3 percent rate, according to St. Louis-based Macroeconomic Advisers LLC.


The economy is improving and the GOP hates it because people might give Obama credit. So they're going to hold the economy hostage.

No sir. The answer is one of these three. Feel free to guess.


A) It's Bush's fault.

B) The Republicans are racist.

C) Obama was born in Kenya.

D) The GOP really does not like the Affordable Care Act and since they cannot repeal it at this time their only move is to defund it.

You cannot possibly believe this to be true.

Oh no, national parks, IRS auditors and NASA are going to shut down for a few days, whatever shall we do??

The federal govt is closed 12 hours a day and all day Saturday and Sunday as it is. Yet somehow we find a way to carry on.

Bullshit posturing as always. This is the 17th govt shutdown since 1976, and there is no way in hell it lasts longer than the last one in 1995 which went 21 days and had ZERO direct economic impact. Political impact? Of course but that's what it's all about anyway.

If government shutdown was mandated to include pay clawback from all politicians you can bet it would never shutdown.

Yes, Ted Cruz and the Tea Party conspired to hijack the Republican Party. But unlike your conspiracy theories, I can back that one up with evidence.

You know more about the economy than the head analyst at Moodys and every other professional analyst?

At least they had enough money left over for signs and zip ties. Obv due to the fact that Halliburton owns the sign and zip tie industries.

In an extended shutdown, most of the federal workforce would go without pay, but the checks will keep coming to the 533 current members of Congress.

The 27th Amendment to the Constitution restricts any Congress from changing its own pay. The measure was proposed in the first days of the Republic but was not ratified until 1992, after a grass-roots movement promoted the idea and the necessary number of state legislatures approved it.

Shouldn't they use the system that they pick the Pope with? Lock those useless leaches in a room and feed them less and less until they are forced to make an agreement or starve to death.

Eventually, you get white smoke.

Americans are happy they aren't in the Middle East during the riots/protests that turn extremely violent during elections.

Do Syrians and Egyptians say I'm glad I'm not in the US during the gov't shutdown? Do they LOL @ US that it seems so ridiculous?
