The worst part is that this was first easy step where they would agree on and then have enough money till half february, the risk of a shutdown in february was higher than this weekend.

Secondly most shutdowns were short and ended up costing less than 100 million$.

But the last one did cost 20-50 billion$ and a another 0,6-0,9% growth slowdown of the economy.

A day or even 2 days basically means nothing but it is silly to have discussions about projects that cost 5-30$ billion while at the same time losing potentially a billion or 2 billlion$ a day.
