Does fed save $ when there is a shutdown?

Seemed like an obvious answer and then I found this article from previous shutdown.

Funny read.

“Experts can’t say how much it cost” but the author of this piece does?

Yuge amounts of $ lost from Parks and Museum gift shops??

If you’re going to take a shit and have 5 minutes to waste =. https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2018/01/21/why-the-government-shutdown-actually-costs-money-000624
