Tea party supporters... how can you stomach the 24 billion they wasted?

Question

That is over 1 fourth of the entire food stamp budget.

So that means in 16 days they wasted enough money to feed over 10 million people for a year.

24 billion is 1 eighth of the estimated cost of Obama care for 1 year.

Yes, in 16 days they wasted enough money to provide a years of medical coverage to 5 million people.

Easy.

Federal spending this year: $3.8 trillion.
Amount spent each day: $10.4 billion.

Shutdown went on for 16 days. 10.4 billion X 16 = $166.4 billion
Cost of shutdown: $24 billion.

So... Whereas it'd usually cost us $166 billion in those 16 days, it 'only' cost us $24 billion during shutdown.
That's a lot of savings. In fact its $142 billion saved, in just 16 days.

Have you heard a single Republican say they approved of Obama's shutdown and disgusting behavior over the last couple weeks?

And  FYI the $24 billion number Obama's shutdown was supposed to cost had nothing to do with government spending.
