Shutdown cost billions in wages, shopping and more

[Yoda]

Seems our conservatives that tell us how worried they are about the deficit dont seem to worry about throwing away 24billion for absolutely nothing.
They should have put that into the Social Security fund




The 16-day government shutdown cost the economy jobs, delayed mortgages and lost retail sales — at least $12 billion worth, and maybe as much as $24 billion.

I agree, its a shame.....we should have gotten at least a $240 billion cut in spending.....then it would have been a bargain......

How much money were Democrats unable to spend for 16 days?

Thats what happens when you have one of sides say flat out, "I will NOT negotiate".

 

[Yoda]

Thats when you have idiots that close the govt down for something they cant possibly win and Obama was right for telling them to piss off and not negotiating with them, they needed to negotiate with the moron ted cruz that got them shafted and outted them as the dipchits they are.

because you place party over country at every turn

I believe in psychology they refer to this as "projecting."

 

[evince]

how can a guy who just supported crashing the economy yet again claim to love this country?

how can a guy who IGNORES the court documentation even from the SCOTUS that your party cheats claim to love this country?
