Here is some Teabagger logic that will enable the Shutdown....clueless.

From a Teabagger....


"Don't let them lie to you. Default on the debt will occur if, and only if, the Administration deliberately chooses not to make the interest payments with the tax revenue they receive each month.

The US Government receives over $200 billion in tax revenue each month, and must make $20 billion of interest payments. In other words, there is enough income to service US debt payments whether Congress raises the debt limit or not."

This is what they now believe...all will be sunny and bright regardless of the Shutdown....They believe this rhetoric!!!!

1. There is $120 billion in short term paper maturing on the 17th.

I took this screenshot the other day from Treasurydirect.com;




I came up with the $120 billion figure by looking at the CUSIP - the numbers at the far right that un-highlited. They will show the auction date, the redemption date and the amount.

So yes, the Teabagger you quoted has no idea what he/she is talking about.

5. Depends on how much detail you want.

Bloomberg's public website has the basics;

http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks/futures/

CNBC's website has similar;

CNNMoney has similar, but they also have a quote generator for any symbol, where it says "Pre-Market Quote";

Hope that helps.

For more detailed information, one would typically have to have a subscription to a service, like a trading platform. Bloomberg's professional platform would run you something like $1700 a month!
