Can anyone tell me what was the point of the government shutdown? Apparently it actually cost money, as opposed to saving any. And the furloughed workers were paid anyway, in addition to the extended vacation they received? No wonder the government is 16 trillion in the hole. And, in addition to not getting what they wanted, the Tea Party faction of the Republican party damaged the Republican brand. As I hear it the polls say that most Americans blame the Republicans for the shutdown. I wonder if that Cruz guy still thinks he can run for president when Obama's term expires (provided he isn't impeached, which I think is a pipe dream).
