[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a take on how much work is "not specifically required by statute"? I get the sense that almost everything is required by statute. Add that the RIF laws don't really match up with Elon's vision of AI and kids replacing all experienced federal workers.

March 14 + the courts are the two things that matter the most here. To pass a CR before Pi day they will need 60 votes in the Senate OR the Rs could go nuclear and change the rules to 50 votes. To get to 60 they need Dems, who will likely stop any massive cut/RIF -- at least until Sept. 30. But if Ds push that, then a shutdown might be the grand gop plan anyway.

My bet given that Rs DGAF about any precedence: Rs go for a shutdown, RIF like crazy, blame the Ds for "ignoring their mandate", and then change the senate rules to require only 50 votes. Then they pass a CR that codifies the RIFs/budget cuts.

Best case scenario, the Dems negotiate a CR that lasts until Sept. 30. Then the hammer falls with the nex year budget.

But the underlying inability of the Rs to agree on a budget doesn't magically go away with the turning of the fiscal year. [/quote]
