What was the value to the economy of all the free time Federal workers got, that was eventually paid for?Revisionist history and professed ignorance does not buy you anythingAs smart as Cruz may be, when he manipulated a Government shutdown to force Obama to back down, Obama just smiled and slapped Cruz around
The shutdown was an act of a political moron
First Cruz is a Senator, and the US Senate does not have the power to shut down anything.
Second, Cruz was an advocate of sound fiscal policy, wherein he advocated to hold the Executive accountable for his reckless spending.
But it sounds to me like you're referring to the time that the House refused to allow a tiny fraction of Federal Spending and the Executive refused to sign the bill which would have provided for the Government to continue operating.
Which resulted in the Executive shutting down the a tiny fraction of the government, wherein he demonstrated his hate for working Americans, veterans and the Constitution of the United States.
There was no downside for any American which came as a result of such, but it did mark the last day when obama and the Left were relevant.
The shutdown was the brainchild of Cruz, that senior Senators and Congressmen would go along with it says a lot about the sad state of the GOP
^ Horse shit.
The "shutdown" (which is not even a meaningful word), was utterly avoidable by virtue of the actions of Congress, but the Presidunce rejected it.
The very very PARTIAL shutdown which ensued was entirely of Obumbler's doing, as a result.
Thems the facts. Period. Amen.
Guys at the Forest Service down the road loved the shutdown.
