Do You Care About The Shut Down???

I have an important question to ask you.  Do you really care about the government shutdown?  I have spoken to very few people that are concerned.  It started with an uncle of mine.  He has severe health problems and relies on Social Security to pay his bills.  He called me and was very concerned because he didn’t know if his check would be there this month.  It was.  I also closed two transactions in the past 7 days.  Both clients asked if it was going to cause a problem which it didn’t.  Other than that, it seems that most people just flat out don’t care.  What about you?

I will admit I am a bit of a news junkie.  I follow the news closely.  But for some reason I almost can’t stand reading about the shutdown.  It just seems like rhetoric from the left and rhetoric from the right, period.  I don’t care what side of the aisle you associate with.  I don’t care if you're a left leaning democrat or a right leaning republican. I have come to the conclusion that both parties are driving us to the same location.  They may be driving different vehicles, but I think it’s clear both parties GPS’s are set for the same location.  The location is terrible, by the way, and we are all passengers along for a ride we don’t want to be on.

It seems we are no longer the “United” States of America.  We are now the “divided” States of America.  And quite frankly I am sick of it.  I find myself asking myself, “what am I supposed to do about it?”  I mean can one person make a difference anymore?  I believe the answer is yes.  It doesn’t take a large number of people to make a great impact.  Simply read about the founding and history of our country.  So where am I going with this?  Well to start I am going to dig in the next couple of days and, see if I can shed some light on the shutdown and how it affects mortgages and the market.  If you have any questions you want answered leave a comment below, and I will do my best to answer them.
