Here are ten ways a government shutdown will affect your daily life. If Congress cannot stop fighting and come to an agreement by October 1, 2013, which is the beginning of the new fiscal year then the government will shutdown. I’m sure there are many people out there saying: “Who cares? This doesn’t affect me” or “My parents nor I work for the government, so I’ll be okay.” However, everyone will be affected!

Here are a few things that will happen if the government shuts down:

  • Military men and women WILL NOT get paid; they’ll get IOUs
  • No gun permits would be processed
  • National parks and museums would be closed
