No regrets. That's the view of GOP Rep.

Matt Salmon about the standoff that partially shutdown the government for parts of three weeks -- costing billions of dollars, according to independent estimates.

Speaking of the national debt, the Arizona Republican said, "

I think that’s a lot more than any kind of pain that was caused during the shutdown." Salmon added, "

I don’t think that standing on principle and fighting for what you believe is ever something that’s wrong."
