The US has an economy that is showing early signs of recession. The US Federal Government is the largest employer in the country, and personal debt is higher now than before the 2008 financial crisis. Not only is a government shutdown bad news for millions of workers who are directly affected, but the timing is terrible. It would be like 3 million people in private industry furloughed for a month. It has a huge impact on the economy.
