Agreement has to be reached by March 4th and Congress is taking off this week. If agreement is not reached, Congress will probably allocate funds for the government to run for a month or so while both sides play their silly games. As an alternative, Congress could allocate funds for critical services. That seems unlikely considering the political fallout.
If Congress should do nothing, the government would literal stop functioning, no S.S checks, no supplies going to Afganistan, etc..

Oh geez, they'll coming running back. They always do, trying to look like heroes on white horses when they're really just terrified for their futures. 2012 isn't that far away. We should cut the bs and just start telling them, full-faced, to stop screwing around. This isn't a theater stage - they're supposed to be getting things done.
The GOP is right. Shut it down.
So what is the big deal if the representatives disagree to spending cuts? Dems are thinking the disagreement will lead to shutting down government when nothing gets funded. Why not keep sending through a combination of spending packages until they get enough votes to carry.
Before a shutdown, one of the parties will offer to extend the operation of the government for a few weeks or months. If the other party refuses, they can kiss their political future goodbye. We are quick to say shut it down, but when 53 million seniors don't get their check, or local banks close because they can't get fund transfers from the Fed, or supplies are delayed to troops in Afghanistan, or airports close because FAA traffic controllers don't report to work you can bet the raft of voters will fall on whoever they think is responsible.Agreement has to be reached by March 4th and Congress is taking off this week.

I say shut um down, and FIRE A BUNCH of them.
Most of them are just friggen idiot leeches off the taxpayers anyway.

The revenue side will be addressed and taxes will be raised before this is over.
The GOP will suffer the most if a shutdown occurrs and a shutdown would hasten the day raising taxes happens proportionately to the length of the shutdown.

Liberals will attempt to raise taxes whether the Gov shuts down or stays open or stands on its head sideways.
As far as the other poster who said watch out when seniors don't get their SS checks, that's exactly why the congressmen will come running back. If liberals think that shutting down government will work politically in their favor after they keep proving to be the ones unable to reach a budget compromise - even when they were the majority - they're out of their minds. they thought the same thing ion '94 and America cheered the GOP for doing just that. How soon they forget.
Fiscal responsibility was what this is about, and it's one of the issues that the GOP used to clean the democrat's collective clock this past November by an historic margin. The dems held congress for all of a few years years and then lost it again. The democrats of today don't get it - America doesn't want socialism. Period.

If the GOP doesn't get it's way, they should take their ball and go home. I like that adult thinking.

Just like the Democrats did in Wisconsin....Is that what you mean
I have an idea. if they want to make all the cuts to SS , lets raise the minnium wage to $10.00 plus, so they can put something in their 401.So what is the big deal if the representatives disagree to spending cuts? Dems are thinking the disagreement will lead to shutting down government when nothing gets funded. Why not keep sending through a combination of spending packages until they get enough votes to carry.
Let 'em shut it down. It cracks me up every time they make public statements like this, as though it's a threat to the people. Services will continue, people in the private sector will get their paychecks, kids will get their milk at school and the congress will eventually come running back asses and elbows once they realize, as they did once before, that after awhile all they are doing is proving to everyone that the world doesn't need them.
