For most of us, Tuesday will simply mark the first day of October or perhaps the start of the fourth quarter. But in Washington, October 1st is New Year's Day, as in fiscal new year, and once again, the federal government looks like it's going to be late to the party. This as lawmakers haggle and horse-trade down to the final minute, risking the closure of non-essential government offices, in hopes of securing the best possible political outcome for themselves.

While the President, the chairman of the Federal Reserve and many others are warning that such a closure would hurt an already fledgling economic recovery, not everyone agrees.

For the record, Hoenig says he doesn't want the government to "grind to a halt" but if it does, it'll be fine with him presuming we get something beneficial out of it.

"I am from the school that says if it wins us a longer term victory in terms of keeping this country more free, more capitalist, that's a beneficial result," he says.

Nobody's budging on the federal budget. That meaning at midnight the Federal government could turn into a proverbial pumpkin. And you thought Halloween was supposed to be the scariest day of October. Markets are pointing sharply lower ahead of an impending shutdown. Here's the latest on the battle: The Senate is poised to reject a bill that has already passed the house. That's because the legislation includes a one-year delay of the new federal health care law known as Obamacare. Without an agreement by midnight, large portions of the government would close, and nearly a million workers would be furloughed, while many more could be asked to work without pay. So, how miht markets react to a shutdown? Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Aaron Task looks at the situation in the video above.
