Stocks would shoot up but the rest of the world will be exactly the same.
It has happened before; the Republicans shut down the Govt; other then a few crazies and Dems who panicked, the world went on without Ted Kennedy and the rest.

DC needs an enema.

They get paid a ton of money to sit on their arses. Why would they ever go on strike?
