If Trump keeps the government shut down for a year or two those folks will walk away on their own... it’s gonna be a win no matter what happens... Trump should double what he’s asking for ... we don’t want dems giving in too quickly.
I was an IT contractor managing a team. The govie we worked for had to approve all of our code version upgrades to production. He had taped cardboard to the top of his cubicle to shield him from the overhead lights. From his arrival at work, to going home, he slept at his desk. It was my job to wake him to approve our work.
