In other words, when it says it "cost the economy $24 Billion," what it really means is that the US government spent $24 billion less than it would have otherwise.
If that really was the problem, it could be fixed with a bill to buy $24 billion worth of paperclips.
Am I the only one who thinks we're approaching this backwards?
