You know the funniest thing about the Obamacare site glitches?

28. My point exactly. You have not heard that because Dems are out there misrepresenting facts

The mainstream media is actually reporting this fairly accurately. For example:

http://swampland.time.com/2013/10/17/heres-what-the-government-shutdown-cost-the-economy/

"... took $24 billion out of the U.S. economy, and reduced projected fourth-quarter GDP growth from 3 percent to 2.4 percent."

That is not the same thing as "costing taxpayers $24 billion" -- not by a long shot

They broke this down as:

About $3.1 billion in lost government services, according to the research firm IHS
$152 million per day in lost travel spending, according to the U.S. Travel Association
$76 million per day lost because of National Parks being shut down, according to the National Park Service
$217 million per day in lost federal and contractor wages in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area alone

The $3.1 Bn is bogus because most of those services will happen -- they were just delayed. The travel spending and contractor wages are real issues. But the only thing the "taxpayers" lost were the taxes on that activity, which probably falls into the $1-$2 bn range.
