Reply #7: I think short term republicans will

[Egnever]

Long term i think the damage it will do will remain long after the government is back in business. I think we will see a higher unemployment rate long term if this happens than we would if it does not as well as other detrimental effects that wont be so easily tied to the republicans shut down. I think it will be easy at that point to sell it as an Obama failure maybe just in time for the elections ....
