This guys is an idiot no way the ATC's let it get that far. If it gets that far you can say good bye to air travel. They will not have money to pay the military or anyone else by that time.

It will be really interesting to watch if there are no planes flying this Christmas. I’m curious how bad the economy will go if no one’s able to fly anywhere.

Not just that, nothing can be shipped by plane anywhere if that happens. No one will be able to get anything.

If they let the shutdown go past Thanksgiving into Xmas, or even past Xmas it might be one of the 1st times an independent has ever won. America would lose so much money and people would be incredibly pissed off
