As it turns out, a lot of people like Ted Cruz
Tonight Show Audience Cheers When Ted Cruz Says ?ObamaCare's the Biggest Jobs Killer in This Country? | NewsBusters
The only ones that like Ted Cruz are the ones that are uninformed about what his little shutdown cost the US in $$$ and jobs. The rest of America knows who was responsible and don't like him or his tactics much.
The 16-day government shutdown cost the economy jobs, delayed mortgages and lost retail sales at least $12 billion worth, and maybe as much as $24 billion.
As federal workers returned to work Thursday, statisticians and business people began toting up the damage:
■ Estimates of the toll range from $12 billion to $24 billion for the U.S. economy, or as much as $1.5 billion per day, and as many as 250,000 jobs. The shutdown trimmed fourth-quarter growth by 20 percent, economist Joel Naroff said an outcome any business would "consider a disaster.''
