The previous government shutdown cost about 2 billion dollars a day in economic activity. That lasted over two weeks. Its probably safe to assume that same metric applies to this shutdown.
My opinion today is the same as it was then. The funding of government spending that has already been signed off on should not be subject to other agendas. Period.
But to the people like David Miller (and DOnald Trump) who have different opinions about shutdowns depending on who is in the White House and what their propoganda source tells them to think.....I say you are the main reason our country is so F@ck-ed up today. People who pick teams instead of positions on policy dont move the country in any direction - they just make for lots of crying on internet message boards.
Like I said - what a shame we cant refernence old threads here. You could see David MIller stomping his feet demanding we shut down OBama's government.
I'd still like to know who and how figures that it cost 2B a day when the govt. shuts down. I know the guys running the food trucks downtown lose a few bucks but what else is there? I'm pretty sure it's a made up # someone pulled outta their arse.
