host: that's thelma from kentucky. joining us on skype is steve stevens. he is the northern kentucky chamber of commerce. mr.stevens we just had a call from covington, kentucky who is furloughed. what that does for the businesses in the area? caller: well as you heard, there are another 4000 just like your previous call they are have been furloughed. obviously that's got lots of ramifications for those company that's are located very close in proximity to that large facility. we have two facilities in covington with that many employees. they're doing about 15% of the business that they would typically do because of those workers. what does that mean? that means that instead of being open from 10:00 in the morning to 9:00 at night. they're open from 10:00 in the morning to 3:00. sometimes those are employee that's are students that get off school and go and work. there's just a lot of problems just locally that are acutely feltly businesses. host: is the i.r.s. only the federal facility in the area where you serve or the area you represent? caller: immediat

well, maybe thelma and louise or the road runner fleeing after while e. coyote.cans were in such a rush, they ran right over the cliff without a plan and looked down only when they hit rock bottom. as my old friend, john mccain, likes it is, it's always darkest right before it goes completely black. it can get worse. don't take my word for it. here is a republican ceo speaking for many conservative business leaders when he says, i'm a republican by definition and by registration, but the tea party seems to have split into two factions. while both parties have extreme elements, only in the gop did the extreme element exercise power. and he makes a comparison that wall street has actually taken to heart. the extreme right has 90 seats in the house, occupy wall street has no seats. stable markets aren't just good for business and jobs, they're a prerequisite. and we know when emergencies rattle the markets, everyone suffers from wall street to main street. but this was not an emergency. it was a self-inflicted political choice. boardrooms, business leaders and entre

if there was ever a time for a mad dash in washington, it is now, and we don't mean thelma and louisefew days are going to be critical on capitol hill but it remains to be seen whether congress is capable of rising to this occasion. here's where we are for those trying to keep track at home without getting a migraine. we are heading into week three of the government shutdown and this thursday is the next big crisis, the day we hit our heads on the debt ceiling and potentially send this country careening into default for the first time in our history. negotiations are now focused on senate leadership on both sides of the aisle. two men not known for their warm and fuzzy friendship, senators harry reid and mitch mcconnell are the last best hope. can they succeed so far where everybody else hasn't. >> all of us are talking about spending, which is where we should have been in the first place. and i do sense tremendous amounts of unity within senate republicans. >> so wall street does not seem to be sharing that optimism. stocks opened sharply lower this morning after a weekend that went

remember "thelma & louise"? you're driving toward that cliff. every day we get closer to this october 17th date or whatever it might be, you're going to start to see people get a little more nervous. at what point if at all do we start to run for the hills? >> you're right, they are going to get more nervous, but i don't think we have to run for the hills because i don't think there will be a default even if we slide past october 17th. i think you heard it from bill gross yesterday. you might have heard it from warren buffett today. the treasury takes in $150 billion a month in taxes. $25 billion a $30 billion a month is all you need for debt service. they can prioritize payments and pay it. the treasury will tell you they cannot do it because they don't have the computer systems or the authority, but they do. they can find the will, they can find the way. that's why the bond market has been very sanguine over the last few days. it doesn't believe we're going to have a default even if we slide past the 17th. i know the treasury secretary's been
