The most obvious result is a government shutdown when the continuing resolution runs out, which will make a lot of people really mad (even those far-right zealots who fantasize about dismantling the US Government).
There are a lot of federal employees out there who would go without payment. Compared to federal contractors, though, they’re the lucky ones. Federal employees will eventually get back pay when the government reopens. If you’re a contractor, though, you will probably just lose your job eventually. There are a lot of federal employees and contractors in the US.
And here’s a fun one: The IRS would continue to collect taxes, but refunds would be delayed.
