How many of you Republicans remember that Newt also caused the Federal government to be shut down twice that ended up costing untold millions of dollars because we Federal workers got paid for every day we were sitting at home while on furlough?

I actually did not mind getting an extra 6 week vacation with pay. We knew all along that we would be getting full back pay.

This was just political grandstanding by Newt and the Republicans that cost untold millions of taxpayer dollars.
