Experts warn government shutdown could plunge economy into recession

[@aerofpv2109]

You don't shut down Government institutions simply because you don't get congress to agree...period. Especially when it was said building a wall would "NOT" be made by Americans.

[@tetsujin_144]

First and foremost this system of having to periodically pass appropriations bills to keep the government open is fundamentally broken. It's natural for the two parties in Congress and the Executive branch to have difficulty seeing things eye-to-eye from time to time, that should not result in a government shutdown! While I personally feel this shutdown is indeed Trump's fault - it is true that he is not the only one to have triggered a shutdown to push his own agenda, or to have used a shutdown to try to damage his political opponents. That is the nature of the system as it stands, disagreements turn into shutdowns which become politically costly - and not necessarily for the people who deserve it.

[@aerofpv2109]

@@tetsujin_144 Well stated as I agree. We are being shown more so now than ever that Democracy doen'st always work as planned. The one man in charge should know better than to cause grave harm to our Nation via a shutdwon. This is horrific and an insult to hardworking Americans.

Shaelyn Brady tax time is huge not only for the American consumer but for business ...why they try to restrict tax refunds to the poor if baffling to me because the poor immediately puts that money back into the economy..they are not saving that money or putting it into the stock market or hoarding it they SPEND IT IMMEDIATELY...big ticket items like washing machines ,dryers ,televisions,cars would not get sold in large quantities if not for tax returns

The people will notice that their lives are being directly affected by bad politics when all people, from the poor to the middle class, will have trouble paying the bills and buying groceries. IRA investments are disappearing, people losing paychecks, medical bills unpaid, assistance to farmers promised but will go uncompensated, and so much more. Our dysfunctional government is making things less safe and secure, and the world watches the slow suicide of a nation. One can only hope that we will learn from our mistakes, see the vurnabilities in our system, correct them, and some day be stronger for it. But for now, it sucks to be US.

Yeah I worked as a grocery store cashier. Over a quarter of food stamp users would use their ebt card to buy luxury foods such as shellfish, imported cheeses, artisan goods, and graded beef. The system is a sham. Ebt should be much more like WIC. Also WIC should get a larger standing budget and this problem wouldnt be a problem.

Unemployment will continue to fall, but companies stocks will fall because the millenials are a smaller generation. Companies will have to pay more and cut prices on goods and services. Blocks on immigration will make things worse, the trade war will happen. Most people won't understand what's happening because they don't follow demographics. The fed will raise rates because of unemployment numbers without realizing that there's major deflation happening. US companies will no longer be able to outsource to China. Corporations are in for a big surprise.

[@rs72098]

@John Marston There are 75 million millenials in the US and 74 million baby boomers. The baby boomers were about twice the size of their parents generation LOOK AT THE NUMBERS. You don't understand the population growth has slowed down extremely in the US, world-wide to a lesser extent. Ignoring demographics is like ignoring gravity.
