If a deal doesn't happen by say noon tuesday

[kydo]

what would happen if the President Declared a National State of Emergency? Because that's what we will be in. It will be a free fall not seen since the great depression.

Honestly I don't think Cruz will sit by as this passes in the Senate and if it passes there is the House.

I hope to God I am wrong and we get through this thing. God I hope I am wrong.

1. I hope you're wrong too...

Because a lot of people in D.C. are going to be updating their resumes come next year.

5. Unfortunately, I think youre wrong about the one day mattering.

The markets have alwas been skiddish, and even more so in recent times. I think if there hasn't been an agreement signed by Wed. afternoon, we'll see a hugh drop in the market value. Somewhere between 1,000 & 3,000 points! God help all those people with 401k's.

3. We'll see..........

<big snip>

Throughout the shutdown, Obama has said Republicans must agree to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling before the two sides can begin talks on spending or tweaks to his Affordable Care Act.

That position has not changed.

"We will not pay a ransom for Congress reopening the government and raising the debt limit," the White House said in a statement on Monday morning.

6. Boehner will wait for the last minute which is Thursday the 17th

At the cost of 900 million dollars - 3 days at 300 million a day - Boehner will wait until the last minute - all to save face with the tea baggers to make it look like he fought up until the last minute.

7. The President declare a national state of emergency any time that he wants

Doing so would not give him any special powers. He can't override the legislature.
