CNN’s Romans: ‘Politically’ GM Shutdown ‘Will Have a Bigger Impact’ than ‘Economically’

EXCERPT:

SCIUTTO: “How long does the strike have to last to have an economic impact in GDP numbers?"
ROMANS: "I think it's interesting because I think the political impact is going to be larger and that's because everybody knows how important the auto industry for the 20th century was for the American economy, right? So, I think politically it will have a bigger impact than it will economically. I know that the workers, they do have a strike fund, they will be paid, at some point, I think $250 a week but it’s hard.”
