So we are now a couple of weeks in....and people will sioon start to feel the pinch. Especially after the holidays, how long will this last? The meeting didn’t go as some hoped, as Trump doesn’t look close to caving. He wants his wall, and he doesn’t plan on giving in....the question is, can the democrats hold out?

Do Pelosi and Schumer have the will as the days continue to mount...and people continue to not get paid? This may turn out to be the longest shutdown in federal history. Think on that....and what will that do for you, your family, and the economy. Is this political war worth it for you? Your family? When will you start to feel the pinch?

Me...I am okay. Being replaced in my job in four months. But my wife and I are buying a second business....just deciding where now.

Who cares? The IRS is still processing refunds.
 
The 11th is the last day paychecks go out. Most people’s rent is due on the 1st. I find it highly unlikely it will last past the 1st. If it does, things are going to get ugly and a lot of those “essential personnel” are going to stop showing up to work.
 
Another week. Pelosi and Chuck will offer up 2.5 billion and Trump will reopen the government. Then both sides will play to their base how they really won the fight

seems like that's the most likely scenario.
