I'm willing to bet the benefits from the day off at LEAST equaled the cost, if not added a minor boost to the economy.
Also, I can use economics prove my bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch is going to win the 2004 election.

Each month there is a productivity report launched and some economists showed that, based on payroll and average number of hours worked by government employees alone, monthly productivity dropped half a billion.
I'm not saying the day off was wrong, just wondering if we can put a dollar value on it, at what point is it too much money.
