In a letter to the Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Katy Kale, assistant to the president for management and administration, explained how “approximately 436 employees will be designated as excepted or exempt to perform excepted functions.” The remaining 1,265 White House employees “will be placed in furlough status once they have concluded activities necessary to shut down their offices.

Lincoln ran the civil war and everything else he did with TWO clerks, paid out of his own pocket.

First of all, I believe nothing that comes out of the White House these days. If true, there is no down side.

Shut ‘er down.
Get ‘er done.
The only way it gets better is if the entire government is led off in handcuffs.
