So I've been wondering:
Where are all of these 800,000 furloughed workers going to find jobs in the private sector? Do you think there are that many open positions that fit their qualifications that they could get hired? Because businesses are going to start hurting since those people have no money to spend. Those who aren't jobless will be donating more to help (and wondering how this is going to impact them) and businesses will feel the pinch and not hire on more people.
When food stamps stop being handed out, what do you think is going to happen? Put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself what you would do if you and your kids were hungry.
How many of those 800,000 have homes on which they will be defaulting on mortgage payments? Electric, gas, phone bills? What effect do you think it will have on banks who have to defer collecting or foreclose? Will public utilities cut services or take the hit to their income?
When border patrol, TSA, and coast guard stop coming to work and find other jobs, how are we going to hire them back when the government opens back up? Would you go back to that work environment knowing that the next time some member of our government decides to hold us hostage for a pet project you'll be right back in this situation? I know I sure wouldn't.
This will start affecting us all very personally and soon.

Blue states are making furloughed federal workers and those working for federal contractors eligible for unemployment benefits. Maybe the dedicated federal workers will stay and keep their jobs and the deadwood will find more fulfilling jobs in the private sector.

This is what I've been getting at and I think it is a much bigger deal than some people realize. This all has a trickle down effect and we will all feel it one way or another.
