I was just reading the top 10 things that will happen if he government shuts down on Oct. 1st. The primary thing is that some government employees will not be allowed to come to work, but in the past they have always been paid for the days they missed when things come back online so they will actually be getting a paid vacation. The mail will still come, social security and any other government assistance will still get paid. Government ran parks will be closed and you might not be able to get some permits.

The people who get screwed the most are the soldiers. They will have to do their job, but they don't get paid during the shutdown (although they will get the pay once the shutdown ends).

It appears that most people will go on living their lives as normal and never know anything is different.
