Re: the 65M cost for a government shutdown, I'm a government employee and I honestly don't see where they come up with those numbers. If we decided not to come to work tomorrow, we'd be paid the same salary and we wouldn't have the light bill or phone bill to worry about. So we'd cost less by not being there, right?

Productivity loss? I don't know what basis Fox was using to generate those numbers. But it was a great segment with that wind guage. ;-)
