Gov't Shutdown 2011 is Friday, Midnight, April 8th 2011.

Would that be just after:

Thursday April 7th 2011 at 11:59PM?
or
Friday, April 8th 2011 at 11:59PM?

Is it just a coincidence that they are doing those Bretton Woods meetings this weekend too?

Stunning observation.

So at government shutdown: do we all go outside and bang on pots and pans?

Im kinda hoping on this.. If the public sees there isnt much difference except LESS govt intrusion and expense in our lives.. we all might start to like it.

SHUT IT DOWN

Yeah, let's figure out the exact time so we don't miss it, because otherwise we might not notice.

Brettan woods?

No authority of course for any of that crap.

COUNT DOWN CLOCK:

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/livenow?id=8060727

but then there's this clock that's totally different:

http://abcnews.go.com/

Looks like nobody really even knows what time it will shutdown. :) :) :)

Explain what exactly? Congress has been passing continuing resolutions instead of real appropriations for spending in the past year, and if a CR isn't signed, the gubmint will stop paying on [most] of its obligations. So no Federal employees will be paid and departments will be closed.

If that's what you want to know.

Exact time of GOV'T SHUTDOWN

Not soon enough.
And very likely not permanent enough.

I just want to celebrate .... I wonder if Times Square will have a countdown clock on display... Unfortunately, this fiscal mess will create problems for some people as the government plays games. As I've said previously, the checks will stop coming for nearly everyone at some point and apparently will for the military as the Democrats USE them for political leverage. How does it feel to be USED and ABUSED by your government? The DoD should have been saving funds for this eventuality like other agencies within the federal government.
