Would it cost more to restart the government after an extended shut down?

What would the financial impact be on US financial markets around the world from a government shut down?

Would it be cheaper to keep the government going?

Unfortunately, practical economics is not the main point. Ideological posturing is more important to those who periodically cause this chaos.

@SunshineGirl And its a negative ideology based on blocking anything ther other side wants. Its paralysing a nation that desperately needs to make progress.😷

@SunshineGirl In some cases it is about posturing. This one is a clear cut example. But in other cases it was the battle between fighting for people or fighting for corporations/military.
