!!! government employees already furloughed can be laid off (“RIFed”) once they have been furloughed for 30 days or 22 work days) Is this part of the Trump plan?
texokie said:
Can the shut down lasting at least 30 days be a means to do departmental audits - or to finalize them? AND we are 2 days ahead of schedule, which means, if I’m looking at it right (which I might not be) that we are ONLY 1 DAY OFF between the Shutdown 30 day cycle when RIFS can start,....

Wonder if they could get rid of some SES corruptocrats this way?
Your (and generally’s) post calls to mind footage, possibly from Project Veritas, featuring government workers (Obama hold-overs) bragging about how they were slowing the work to a crawl and that no one could do anything to them - couldn’t fire them.
Mwahahahahah!
POTUS has made it so “in-your-face” re the wall, that botox-mask-faced Pelosi would have a hard time “breaking” her stance. The left has embraced it as a point-of-pride.
If they cave in, the left offends its base and POTUS will probably use the EO’s he signed earlier in 2018 making it easier to fire FED employees (easier - not easy) to drain the hold-overs. Here’s an excerpt and a link re the EO’s.
“President Donald Trump signed three executive orders Friday that aim to reduce the time it takes to fire poor-performing federal employees and overhaul federal employees union rights, including cuts to official time.
In a conference call with reporters on Friday, senior White House officials said the executive orders call back to a promise Trump made at his State of the Union address, in which he sought to empower every cabinet secretary with the authority to award good federal employees and to remove poor performers more quickly.”

Excellent points, Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets!)
The thought that surfaces now, is didn’t Trump say in last year’s state of the union address that the various departments would be able to thin out the herds somehow? I guess that is what the EO is that you have referenced, isn’t it?
