Your tax return will be delayed. Public parks and museums will be closed.
Ultimately, depending on who "wins" some social programs may be cut (things like planned parenthood, etc.). If you're a federal worker, you may (or may not) get paid.

well it affects some people drastically i would think, like military. the article has examples, but personally i think it might make people look at how it happened and realize the horrible state of the world economy and the falling of america as the world's superpower.
make way for the century of china.

It's really not a big deal, it's happened before. They just shut down "non-essential" government things like parks, beaches and all that jazz.

Happens every few years, it's a non-event, or a sideshow.
Wait and see if you're affected and to what extent.

Of course, the congressmen will still get paid even though it is their stubbornness that will make all the "nonessential" workers get furloughed.

so will our troops, "americas protection" become weak or drop in numbers due to this?
i have a lot of friends who joined the military only for the money and the stability. take that from them and they have no reason to stay. its not unheard of for people to become MIA. its not like our broke ass gov is going to spend money to find these MIA's anyway.
dunno, thats what i think.

Sure, they have to. It's their only option. Congress failing to pass a budget is like a woman withholding sex. It gets some attention but isn't a viable long-term approach to managing a situation.

Government isn't a problem, it can't be. Because government isn't a thing, it's a concept.
Your problem is with the voters. Which is to say, with yourself. Sorry if that sounds unpleasant but it's the simple truth.
Want things changed? Go vote. We did here in Colorado, and it can happen nationwide. MMJ or a sensible budget, the answer is the same. Vote.

lol u might make a small change at the local level but nothing has changed on the federal, infact while everyone has been focusing on "medical" mj a shitstorm of stuff has become illegal. Voting just does not work for our big buisness, i mean big government.
government is physical not imaginary, and it can't be slain by simple men of which we have none in the first place, all we have is a generation of what were men, turned halfway into girls
