[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump is playing chess while the Dems are playing checkers.  If the govt does shutdown, the budget will be balanced within a year.  Just in time for the midterms....[/quote]

Not sure if I should give them this much credit, but firing everyone then only bringing back the good workers is a great way to get around the problem of firing the deadweight.[/quote]

1.  The federal govt actually runs pretty lean.

2.  I can tell you are not a manager -- or at least not an effective one -- or you would know that it's the good workers who don't put up with this kind of BS -- the ones who are unlikely to come back after indiscriminate firings.

3.  The government has to follow laws and regulations when getting rid of people.  These would have to be layoffs (costly!) and would add to the absurd volume of expensive court cases that the Trump admin is currently fighting.

There would be not cost savings and plenty of disruption for all Americans.

It's a stupid threat.  The only thing dumber for Trump than making this threat would be following through on it.[/quote]
