Government shutdown costs rise with budget battles
The GAO warns that budget deadlock causes massive losses from lost work and revenue. Earlier estimates put a 1990 shutdown at 3.4 million and a 1991 three weekday shutdown at 240 to 600 million, with current costs higher. Nationwide, workers prepared for a possible shutdown as agencies faced expiration of spending authority at midnight.
