Wall. Street. Shut. Down.

No one agrees. Parties fight. It's the same old song and dance we've been experiencing for years. The short term reality of this [a government shutdown] could be painful....(the long term reality is probably pretty minimal).

Yikes. People wouldn't get paid. The SEC stated the option of having private money to pay employees in 1995 does not exist today.

Hmmmm......what's the solution? Is there one that isn't painful? Is continuing to put band-aids and minimize temporary pain only a double-edged sword that will threaten the legacy we wish to leave our children and create more pain in our futures?

What do you think?
