The government shutdown, by one estimate, sucked $24 billion out of the American economy in just two weeks. How about we send the bill to the Tea Party?


According to Time magazine, the shutdown cost:


• About $3.1 billion in lost government services, according to the research firm HIS.


• $152 million per day in lost travel spending, according to the U.S. Travel Association.


• $76 million per day lost because of National Parks being shut down, according to the National Park Service.


• $217 million per day in lost federal and contractor wages in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area alone

psst, Cletus, Cabrini Green was torn down years ago by King Richie Daley. It's why the home-boys have invaded the once nice 'hoods in Chiraq and crime is through he roof in every police district.

Correct address is as follows:

Tea Party USA
Chicago City Hall, Fifth Floor
Chicago, IL 60601-0001

Okay.. so if I get this Andrew Heller then we should all just 'work' for the gubmint since they, *it*, is such a fantastic producer of 'wealth'. Though I'm pretty sure that was tried before in the Soviet Union and it didn't end up too well.

Though if you discount the famines and hundred million dead, the numbers might look better. [stoo-pid moonbat leftists]
