and that has a big impact. of course, i think this was probably one of the more tragic examples that we've seen of this government shutdown, of course, there's so many others, whether it's the kids who aren't in head start programs or people furloughed or paychecks may not be coming very soon. so this is a very human element and personal element to this entire shutdown that a lot of times gets lost in this very policy laden fight where you hear terms like clean cr, et cetera. >> to your point and i'm happy you brought that up, when you say clean cr, that means something but perhaps not enough. obviously our audience, people were incredibly engaged in politics, we are the place for politics, the bottom line, whether you're the person who glances at the newspaper when you see the headline, that someone was killed in the line of duty and that their funeral won't be paid for, you don't have to be able to die just washington lingo to get what that means, especially as relates to the stalemate. >> absolutely, tamron.

check the big board.wn a whole lot more if the markets really thought we were not going to get a debt deal. market watcher, keith fitzgerald joins us in new york of all places. welcome back. >> thank you very much. stuart: here is my point of view. we've got a debt-- we've got a stalemate on spending, the market's going to be down about 100 points. and if we had a stalemate on the debt ceiling and we'd run across the midnight wednesday deadline, i say we'd be down a whole lot more, you say? >> absolutely agreed. the reason is simple. banks depend on credit, if they cut credit off. then the addiction is it withdrawal, that's the symptoms that happen and the market is not placing that bet and that's irrelevant to them as long as they have access to the debt. now, you've followed this closely. am i right in saying that most investors. most wall street watchers, they think there's going to be a last minute deal? >> wall street is behaving that way and to me, that's a very difficult decision because i think th

for the too big to fail banks the big four here in the u.k. and put into a co-op bank and then a co-op bank because of being attacked by these banks you know they tack it they look through a full of loans they force it into problems then now the hedge funds have bought co-op bank so. it is is are so that the bank now has is felt owned by hedge funds what has what are your thoughts well you know the unique feature about co-op is that it was originally founded to be a social bank and a social bank means the if you're going to allow a bank to create all of our money and if the banks are directing all the flow of all money then why not have some kind of ethical stance to put it into things which are socially good for the economy and that was the original stone now co-op is good itself in trouble because it's operating off the same unsustainable ponzi schemes the existing banking system operates off therefore to rescue them and i was in parliament discussing with some of the m.p.'s that were questioning the c.e.o. of co-op recently the hedge funds
