I'm not affected by it but, there are many who are. 

I saw a Dateline episode last night - ONE small town in Texas has 600 illegal immigrants EACH DAY crossing the border...in that ONE SMALL TOWN.

I agree, it's a problem but, sadly, this negotiating tactic isn't working. Our leaders need to find a better way to address this problem once and for all. 

Yes -  I have to hear my husband complain daily about the misinformation we are all being given... 

A billion dollar a week hit to the economy has the potential to hurt all of us.

We are all affected by the shutdown in some way.

Not as of yet, except for the flood of broadcast news stories full of opinion and lacking the news. I am despising all politcians these days. Instead of compromise we have block everything and anything proposed. 

Which One?

Not directly as of yet. Can't believe we have two sides so set in their opinion. Realistically, the government wastes more than the wall would cost weekly. Wake up Washington and get this over with!

Not as far as I know.

Not directly yet. But I did tell a prospective last night that it may be a while before we can get SBA processed. This gives him a chance to get ready anyway.

No sir, not yet

Nope!

Sorry to hear about those who are affected, just wish he would pay for his own wall.

I do however do my best to never let my economy depend in any way on the federal govt.

All of us will be paying for Trump's blunders.

Not yet

Now I know why Jimmy Carter was not reelected. He surely created a trade mess by starting with China and created problems at home. His administration experienced shut down 3 years in a row.  That dental man!

I am affected (nauseous/disgusted)  by the up close and personal look of some the people who are supposedly running this country, how they are acting and how dysfunctional they are.  We have the resources to make America a paradise and for all to have a quality life. Get on with that program....Meanwhile, our enemies watch and learn about how to divide and conquer us as did Osama bin laden & 9-11. 

One way or another we are all affected.

I am not affected by this shutdown, just a little inconvenience. But with 800,000 workers not getting paid and used as pawns by our government, is a disgrace. Government officials are elected by us and to serve us. DO YOUR JOBS!! The people will force you one way or the other to stop playing games and start doing what we voted you in for. I don’t mind a good fight that Congress and the President have, but don’t bring government workers into it.

Not yet Peter Mohylsky unless you consider all the rhetoric crap by partisan politicians messing with my brain as being "affected" but it's more like being afflicted.

No not yet.

The duration is now such that ALL financed sales will be affected. Either banks will need to waive some of their 'nit-picky' stuff for start creating a backlog.

Income verification through IRS filings will prove problematic.

At this point, I have not been affected at all.

Not that I know.

No, not yet. 

No, no mortgages on my deals.

Not so far.

Not directly

I have not felt a personal impact.

I have a friend who is an Air Traffic Controller. She is now working but not getting paid. How safe do you feel flying under in this situation.

Security check people at the airport (TSA) are also working without a paycheck. Some are not showing up since they are pursing cash jobs elsewhere in order to pay their bills.

Yep, no USDA mortgage business to be had : /

No.

Bah humbug I'm closing loans We are TRUSTING borrowers with agreements to update with paystub/bank statements etc if needed. WE closed loans without the 4506T so far, but now have a better work around that one. IT will cost me more time which is money but I am not letting a tantrum slow me or my customers down. This could go on a long time. How can we get your client to fund around the contract or get private money to close her upleg?

The TSA agents were all grumbling and were very unhappy. I made sure to thank them for being there without pay. I think we may all be affected if secirity slips at airports due to lack of staff.

we're waiting for a document from the IRS and now have an extension for a week while the attorneys play with each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not yet.

Yes, it has made me transition to "Part 2" which is instrumental and I no longer have the patience to listen to all of the BS.

Nope

Nope.

WE are all affected directly or indirectly ... 

Nothing yet

Nope; not one little bit.
