The dollar has nearly hit an eight-month low and stocks dropped this morning as the government shutdown enters into its second week with no end in sight.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle have not shown any indication that they will be willing to compromise in order to call off the shutdown and approve the debt-ceiling increase.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner vowed on Sunday not to raise the U.S. debt ceiling without a 'serious conversation' about what is driving the debt, while Democrats said it was irresponsible and reckless to raise the possibility of a U.S. default.
