ATTN Republican Deficit Hawks the shut down has now cost $3.3 billion $s.

BTW the shut down has now cost $3.3 billion $s.

The shut down is costing $300,000,000 per day.
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."

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