The economic devastation this has caused will be evident fairly quickly, especially small and medium sized businesses, and unemployment (which I believe will hit 20% in April). Leisure and hospitality and retail ex supermarkets/big box will take years and years to recover (22 million jobs just there). I think we’ll have another big leg down in the stock market soon.

I don't think it will be that long. There's going to be big vacuums in certain industries and enterprising people with capital will swoop in to fill the void.

1) Yes, nothing commands confidence in investing than knowing the government can shut you down and bankrupt you and then let the BK courts sell your assets to the highest bidder on the other side
2) I guarantee you it will take that long. I have a lot of evidence that it will and even more assumptions to back the evidence.

You seriously have no clue. The media/dems WANT this shutdown - they know what is very likely to happen - this will drastically reduce Trump's chance of re-election

Hollywood gets the shaft as well.....big blockblusters planned for the summer will go bust...watch for Hollywood types to start clamoring for the nation to get back to normal so people will again spend money to watch movies where they tear down America.
