Trump is showing them what having a spine looks like.
Interesting take on the possibility of a shutdown. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but the author makes sense. Trump would seize the shutdown as an opportunity to cut more crap.
Once you get up to thirty days of limited government services, and a lot of civil service in the DC area will start to get worried. I think by week six....a lot of Democrats will ask to return to the topic of fixing this, and find that Trump wants 10-percent (minimum) of the workers to be permanently erased from the DC work establishment. By week eight...it’ll finally end. If I were a GS in DC....I’d put my house up for sale right now and prepare for the worst.
