there s a economic impact here. the numbers will get regurgitated. neil: it s a good point. katherine, let me ask you about that. moody s put out a survey saying it s going to slice a little bit off of gdp for this quarter. let me ask you that same issue about how long it drags on. then what? well, let s face it. it won t drag on if the president declare as national state of emergency and funds the wall via that method. the markets will go higher when he does that because it squashes the uncertainty, which the market doesn t care about with regard to the shut down. so when the president decides to go the emergency route, which he will, the issue of the shut down is ended. essential workers have ended. they re getting retroactive people.
