No, most agencies run out of money starting tomorrow. The biggest I think is the FAA (though air traffic controllers still will be on the job).
August 2nd is the dead line for our bills to other countries. If we miss a payment we will essentially be downgraded to the status of sub-saharan african countries. |

August 2nd is the deadline for the US to raise the debt ceiling otherwise the country will default on its foreign obligations and credit rating agencies will downgrade us. Although I think they can do that before August 2nd though. Interesting times indeed. |
