This is an article focusing on Obama's piece of mind regarding the government shutdown. He and I both think it's a waste of time for our government. The fact that a single republican, John Boehner is currently the person controlling how and when the government shutdown will end is wrong. One person should not be in control of the congress on funds that have already been approved. Boehner and republicans refuse to reopen the government as long as Obama doesn't go in front of 20 million people and basically tell them they can't have health insurance.

Why does John Boehner have that power? How well did this strategy work for Republicans? What will happen with the debt ceiling discussion looming ahead in our future?

An article from Forbes that states that the current government shutdown (even a potentially prolonged one) will probably have little to no affect on the stock market.

But it also talks about the debt ceiling... Did you apply this information to the thinking contributing to your collaboration on investments?

this article talks about the agencies that got a little bit of money to stay operating but are running out of money for real and will end up closing until the shutdown is off most of them are running out of money at the end of this week.

Can we govern by crisis or piecemeal?

this article is a bout how ebt cards had no limit because of the shutdown and a glitch in the system and a walmart got almost everything bought from it

What does this say about human nature and computers? How do you think the EBT glitch information was spread so quickly?
