Ok let me begin by saying this is merely speculation. But in all things that happen there is always big money behind it.
So I have a theory. It is easier to fix a bet to garantee a Loss than it is to garantee a win. Example Boxing, if it is a fixed match someone pays one of the boxers to take a dive in the 3rd round thus insuring a garanteed pay off.
That being said, a predictable Government Shutdown is a garanteed loss. So who are the winners? Follow the money. I don't know who but I know someone has put themselves in a position to make millions off of this shutdown. Just like in the Stock Market. You can make more money when a stock falls, if you position yourself in the right place and time.
Follow the Money find the culprits that are really driving this shut down. I think Congress is just the pawns in a horrible game of Chess

It's also possible, of course, that the money men are manipulating their Tea Party patsies in a way to ensure maximum profit to themselves. In which case, we're likely to end up with a lot of Tea Partiers feeling betrayed and looking for the nearest liberal to take it out on.
