The shut down is costing $300,000,000 per day ..... $2.4 billion so far.

I never want to hear a republican talk about the deficit or the national debt again.

If you can please keep this thread kicked because everybody needs to see
thesefigures ...... because for all the crap the republicans talk about the
deficit and how bad it is they really don't care about it except for an excuse to
complain about the big spending "liberals."
