Government Shutdown

Thomson Reuters: Shutdown cost pegged at $3B as U.S. government reopens

Thomson Reuters is a non-USA company, and thus has no dog in this race.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said the cost of the shutdown will make the U.S. economy 0.02 per cent smaller than expected in 2019.

So that cartoon is incorrect again, in a demonstrable point of fact. I would suggest not trusting anything reported by that source without independent verification from a non-USA source.
