AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
"If you were a business person trying to decide whether or not to expand, would the uncertainty created by a threatened shutdown affect your decision?"
Answer (1)
Answer:The uncertainty surrounding a threatened government shutdown would significantly influence my decision to expand my business. Such a shutdown introduces considerable financial risk, potentially disrupting supply chains, delaying permits and approvals, and impacting consumer spending. The resulting operational instability and decreased investor confidence would make expansion a far less attractive, and significantly riskier, proposition. I would need to carefully weigh the potential benefits of expansion against the very real possibility of significant unforeseen costs and delays caused by a government shutdown.
