Durbin: We just went through a government shutdown of your creation. Itâs cost $30 billion for taxpayers, hundreds of thousands of jobs, and the Republican Party brand is at the lowest level in the last 30 years.
While the U.S. government shutdown may merely be an afterthought or an inconvenience for some people, it's costing the economy and taxpayers plenty. So how much does the government shutdown cost? The daily tab for the government shutdown is a whopping $160 million. The shutdown cost some $1.6 billion in lost output from the $15.7 trillion U.S. economy in its first week alone, according to global market research firm IHS Inc. Bloomberg reported that two days into Week 2, the government shutdown cost equaled $2 billion in economic damages â the same amount that heavy rains, flash flooding, and mudslides in 17 Colorado counties cost the state last month.
