Government shutdown costs MORE money to taxpayers

So if the federal government shuts down, taxpayers would save a lot of money, right?

Not quite.

It would actually cost taxpayers money. And for every day the shutdown continues, the bill would go up.

"There is absolutely no way this saves money. Zip," said Bo Cutter, former director of the National Economic Council and a senior fellow at the Roosevelt Institute.

The agency I work for spends over $1 million per month in long distance phone bills alone when it's operating. Wonder what the cost of other utilities such as electric would be during a shutdown? Hmmmm...
