U.S. gov't shutdown??

[furrowtickler]

Just read on the cnn website that the U.S. gov't is prepareing for a shutdown. It was just on the ticker. This has happened before, during the Clinton era. Will this effect commodities? How did it effect them before? I was gone for a while, has this been in the news lately?

A gov't shutdown will affect any statistics as far as I know there will be no reporting during a gov't shutdown. How it will effect grain prices have no idea. They are out 4 billion. This is all about cutting spending or increasing revenues. I am sure no one here would want to take on the job before them. And interest rates are low, what if they rose 2 percent. I read it somewhere cannot remember but if interest rates rose 2 percent it would amount to something much bigger than the measely 4 billion. They are on thin ice. Should get interesting.

From what I am aware, a shutdown would shutdown non essential services saving the gov't money in the process.

Not sure what your trying to say BTO , what I think is that when it comes to shutting down gov't is the answer to a financial problem then things are not good. Millitary is still on the essential side.
