Federal Departments Lay Out Plans in the Event of a Government Shutdown

"PASSPORTS As a national security agency, the State Department would continue operations, but some activities, like issuing passports for travelers and visas for foreigners coming to the United States, could stop or face significant delays. Emergency consular services would continue".

As if we don't have enough to worry about...

Getting annoying.

Any shutdown may cause a week delay at most. It is all politics, fear mongering, and chicken little topics.

it's a little humorous watching the threads ...

is there a place for us to make donations to the "mod relief fund".

for some reason this fund may be needed for the mods to get together and make a trip to the store to buy special "medicinal purpose" bottles

F THE GOVERMENT WAS TO SHUT DOWN IT WOULD LOSE SOMETHING LIKE 1.7 BILLION DOLLARS

And how much money would we save, in water / electric bills alone?

We will lose money only if the workers are paid retroactively - and that's a big if.
