...... tomorrow we will hit $3.3 Billion

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

"The shutdown of government by House Republicans has already cost at least $1.2 billion,
with the tab increasing by $300 million a day. Some estimates are much higher than that."
10/5/13 Nicholas Kristof NY Times, "Governing by Blackmail."

*****
Please Call your Congress Critters .... especially the republican ones because they
are getting lots of heat over this unneeded shutdown.

or rather learn not to promote them.

There is a cost!
