    yeah, so the last shutdown reportedly cost the US 11 billion

    I keep seeing that number circulated here. May I get a run down what is accounted under that number?
    Or is it under "87.5% statistics are made on the spot" category?

    Besides, your remark doesn't address the point I made: one BS down is no warranty the next thing will not be a (divisive) bullshit too.
    I have this nagging feeling that will actually enhance the chances of the next BS ("if they swallowed this one, why not continue to feed them another? Looks like the strategy works.")
