And you know this and are going to prove it to the rest of us how, exactly?

Or is this just more delusional, zero-track-record MAGA "trust the plan" hubris?[/quote]

DP. Every time the CR ends, everyone is predicting 100% chance of a shutdown, and it hasn’t happened since 2018.[/quote]

Right.  They always come up with a deal at the last second.  Always.[/quote]

This time I am not sure about that. Dems have absolutely nothing won or lose here. They’re just…existing at the moment. It there is a shutdown, [b]Feds ain’t getting back pay[/b] [/quote]

Of course they are, it’s in statute.

OMB doesn’t actually care about paying feds. There are thousands of them on paid admin leave right now. They care about pushing them to [i]leave[/i]. So what I expect in a shutdown is:

1. More people on excepted lists (working and not getting paid
2. Foot dragging on the shutdown to force lower-income feds to get second/third jobs. Hoping some will jump ship and then finding ways to penalize others who stay (disciplinary action for not getting outside employment approved comes to mind).
3. Freezing WGI, laddered promotions and retirement and service computation calculations during a shutdown.
