What if they shut down the government, ordering all NON-ESSENTIAL personnel to stay home, and while they're out, President Trump orders their desks, phones and computers removed and the locks changed?

Isn't that basically what we've been fighting for all these years?

Drain the swamp, baby.

Why do we pay for non essential personnel in the first place?

President should make it known that there will be NO BACK PAY for any work not done. It should not be a paid vacay for anyone!

And I agree, any non-essential workers should be removed.

Shutting the government down has never been a problem, for precisely the reason you mention.

The government doesn’t shut down, really.

Sounds logical to me.

Over 93% of EPA employees considered ‘non-essential’. Fed up with footing the bill.

Jim,

true o’ so true.

This time around DJT will be deciding which agencies are non-essential.

Trump will be running cash flow positive in one week.

".... and computers removed ...."

And if we give them back, remove the "0" key from the keyboards first.
