What would the financial impact be on US financial markets around the world from a government shut down?

Would it be cheaper to keep the government going?

@Vin53 Just defund the US military - that'll cure the problem. ;-)

@zonavar68 I'm fine with that, let the next 26 greatest military countries cover our ass for a while.
