Well, here we are. For whatever it’s worth, the federal government is so-called shut down. I say so-called because all the muck that it creates is still there: the IRS. Political discord. Audits. Incompetent leadership. Wars. Waste. Fraud. Taxes. But, from the strictest technical sense, it is “shut down.” I say let the entire thing vanish. None of us would be any worse off, except for the vastly improved sums of money we “get” to keep.
Not that it’s scaring anyone. Indeed, fear has become a thing of the past, as the /VX futures show over the past half year.
