Forums - Politics Discussion - Can anybody give a decent prediction as to how long the govt shutdown will last?

Seriously, how long will this BS last?  Are things looking like they will move forward? Or will they be arguing all year long without a budget passed?

Obviously not unless they want global meltdown

48 to 72 hours max.

I think you're unaware that things have been shut down for two weeks now.

I believe he meant 48 to 72 hours MORE. Speicfically with the 17th deadline drawing near.

Just put on some Bob Marley and relax.

You can't do anything but wait. I guess if you're a public sector worker this would be a sizable concern.

I think it might be longer than we think... I guess impeachment proceedings against Obama will start on Thrusday for his inability to get the government running

I couldn't begin to guess. I could however, offer my take on how long I'd LIKE to see it go on... Would forever be too long?

Thank you.  They obviously havent a clue how all of this is works.  A "limey" has more clue than them about their own country.

Holy crap, dude, do you have to be such an ass about a simple miscommunication?  We're all grownups here.

I would be shocked if the US defaulted, this will all be over just before the deadline and then they will do this all over again in a little while.

But man.. if they actually did, shit would break loose.

err... I believe you started that with your initial comment......   dude.

and don't call me an ass.

 

Started WHAT with my initial comment?  I wasn't being insulting or anything; I thought you meant something that you didn't, and I thought I was filling you in.  Yeah, my mistake.  Then you get all super insulting and dickish, like I'm the dumbest person in the world because I misunderstood what you said.

Pretty assy behavior to me.
