Tom Emmer: The Gov’t Shutdown Had ‘a Major Impact’ on Low GDP Growth

EMMER: "I think it had a major impact because of when it happened and how it happened. 43 days, right at the end of last year, the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter of economic activity. This is why Democrats are doing it again for the Department of Homeland Security bill, even though now it’s different stuff. Like, it affects the Coast Guard, it affects Border Patrol, it affects the TSA. It’s going to affect disaster relief. The amazing thing is, the thing it doesn’t impact is federal law enforcement when it comes to Immigration and Customs Patrol."
