Beware the ides of October.. and you thought today was bad for the government and economy.. We may have seen nothing yet

New federal fiscal year.. and the government has shut down.. a battle in Washington DC between Republicans and Democrats continued into the early morning hours.. by the time the sun rose over the Capitol, the government was still closed for business..

Other news:

• Ways the government shut down could hurt..


• 800,000 without pay..


• Eyes wide open over a cliff..


• National Parks set to close..


• Shutdown fever..


• What’s next?


• The government shut down no one wants..

And…
October 1: Obamacare begins..

BUT..
Beware the ides of October!? The next default deadline that everyone is worried about is October 17.. That is an economic date with destiny—the date when markets could be rattled and the United States could default..

It’s beginning to look a lot like a shut down.

The post office will deliver.

The military will fight. But they will not be paid.

800,000 or so will be furloughed..

National parks will close.

Happy spring.
