Via The Hill:

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) hammered Republicans on Thursday for the month’s prolonged budget impasse, accusing Republicans of waging a futile fight at the expense of the economy.

“Was their temper tantrum worth $24 billion?” Pelosi asked during a press briefing in the Capitol. “I don’t think so.”

The figure is a reference to a recent report from Standard & Poor’s; the credit rater estimated that the government shutdown cost the nation’s economy at least $24 billion and shaved 0.6 percent from economic growth.
