what do you guys think about it? They got to get a deal done by next week (August 2nd), so if they can't reach a deal, the government will shut down until they can reach a deal (like the NFL/NBA lockout, without the restrictions). A long term deal is pretty much out the door, so their shooting for an agreement through 2012/2013.

What do you guys think about this, are you concerned about this? Or do you think a deal will be reached before the 2nd.
