I would argue the reverse - that productivity goes up immensely when the crooks, pirates and liars are unable to go to work to keep fleecing America. Keep Government shut down and we'll crawl out of this mess real fast, quick and in a hurry. Put these pirates back in their ships and the looting begins afresh.
Screw 'em all. Toss everyone one of these lying, profligate sumbitches out on their arse!!!
