I hope all those non-essential Government employees updated their resumes and are ready to leave.
Not paying someone who does an un-necessary job is not something that keeps me up at night.
The only way to remove the DeepState peacefully, that I know about, is a ShutDown that drags on for as long as it takes. Months or Years, until 80% of the Government is history.
I don't like this 3 week delay at all. I'm thinking something is not ready behind the scenes.
