Don't buy the hype ladies and gents, don't think for a second that the government didn't have a planned contingency plan if this happened. If you really think the government shut down then there shouldn't be any air traffic controllers controlling the sky's, no TSA agents raping you lol...etc Just think for yourself. This is all built to implode the economy. They have no excuse that companies are still making record profits while there there's a steal a 7% unemployment rate. This is a joke.
that's the real fukked up thing. Also how can they hold people hostage when the act is already a law and is currently in effect now? It makes no sense.
If we ever needed concrete evidence that this govt as a whole couldn't give two fukks about the people, this would be it.
I think the same thing

Unemployment Is Really 14.3%--Not 7.6%
The current job-creation numbers are meaningfully below the level we might expect during a period of record corporate earnings and the reaching of new peaks in the major stock market indices.
Let’s go to the videotape –
The unemployment rate is 7.7%. But, there is another 0.6% of discouraged workers,(about 800,000) mainly the young, minorities and those without the all-necessary high school diploma. Another 0.9% are only marginally employed (whatever that means) and have mostly stopped looking for a job recently. More crushing is the 5.1% of the workforce most impacted by the 2008 downturn, who are working only part-time and would prefer to have a full-time position. That 5.1% part-time workers total 8 million people, who mostly are having trouble making ends meet and most likely have no health plan from their employer, according to Bob Eisenbreis, vice chairman and chief monetary economist at Cumberland Advisers, a New York-based investment firm that makes useful comments on the economy.

Rising Home Prices And Falling Unemployment: Don't Trust the Numbers
Shah Gilani Contributor These numbers added together suggest that the true unemployment level– when part-time workers are included– is 14.3%–meaning that one in seven of every potential full-time employee in the U.S. economy is not able to earn a proper living wage–and thereby contribute to the snails-pace of economic growth.
To my way of thinking the dropout rate is the most perplexing, because how do these people survive? Moreover, the percentage of people employed is only 58.5%, down from 61%, the level hit in 2008 when Obama was first elected–and to be fair before the meltdown on Wall Street. And the jump in first-time unemployment claims last week was the highest level since last November.
Now comes the sequester–which is meant to slice 1.75% from GDP at a time the economy is supposed to be growing at only a 1.6% pace at best. In other words, fewer people will be earning wages just as bullish sentiment is gaining momentum for a risk-on long position in equities. Everywhere I go seasoned veterans believe the market’s current valuation of about 14 times earnings makes them comfortable for a long-lasting bull market. Because, after all, they argue–there is far more risk in the bond market. Incredibly, perversely almost–the public’s accumulation of fixed income mutual funds and ETFs continues big time.
I can only conclude that maybe corporate earnings will continue to increase, rewarding equity investors, because of the high unemployment rate.
This shyt is frustarating as fukk going to school trying to get this masters and not getting an opportunity with all these "openings"7% unemployment....... try closer to 15% with people that gave up looking for F/T work settling for P/T work.

I don't even know what to say about this anymore. I'm just ashamed of this whole thing. Ashamed, and I'm not even directly involved other than by being an American.
If that was true the democrats would of gave in to the republicans and delayed or defunded obamacare. I don't like how people are not placing the blame straightly where it belongs, with republicans. They would rather people not get expanded healthcare then to see obamacare as a success.
