Rush said on his radio on Wednesday or Thursday, I believe he said Trump has to hang in there for a couple of more weeks and then he’s got them! CHECKMATE!! Has to do something with some article about federal employees blah blah blah can be laid off permanently after 30 days or 60 days after a government shut down something to that effect! Rush was very giddy so it must be good! Hang in there President Trump hang in there baby!
i know some folks who worked at the local irs office and they are complaining bitterly that they are currently “unemployed.”
however, it seems to me that all they have to do is dip into their savings for a while and wait it out until the shutdown ends and they will in effect get a free vacation.
perhaps when they complain what they are really complaining about is the prospect of a RIF?!
(btw they claimed no responsibility for the tea party harrassment by the irs, saying it would never be allowed in the local office.)
(for moral reasons that imho were apparent many decades ago, i never applied for a job at the irs...)
