How so? It definitely hurt Newt more than Bill Clinton the last time it happened

Very, though it won't be for long - just for the show/effect and then they'll have a CR ready to go.

All theatre.

What they have the votes for a CR, but if the HFC calls a vote to remove McCarthy as speaker right before they try to pass it? Wouldn't that cause a shutdown while they get that sorted out?

we have had shut downs since then

90% chance of shutdown. If it occurs 80% chance it lasts 1 week, 20% chance it lasts 2 weeks. The oracle has spoken.

Sorry to inform you that the blame will fall squarely on the GOP. Thinking otherwise is delusional folly.

Yes, we've had shutdowns since then - And the party in Congress that caused the shutdown received the blame. Every time.

When is the shutdown supposed to start? Need to make plans.

Agree. This syndicated programming repeats.

And the lowly feds will get back pay for the time missed during the shutdown. I feel soooo bad for them.

Many of us still work during a shutdown. In fact, there is never really a true shutdown - IIRC only about 1/4 of the government actually shuts down.

I work in cyber. We still must work. Foreign hacking groups go crazy during shutdowns. I don’t get paid but my bills still have to be paid.

Essential works in gov work but other areas of agencies have to do shutdown procedures that are costly and time consuming.

I know in reality this is not feasible, but I wish they would actually shut down the entire govt, not the 25% a PP quoted. No Medicare, social security, air traffic control, etc would quickly put an end to any future shut down talk.
