Apparently according to the law just a few more days and some of those furloughed federal workers can be laid off permanently.

President Reagan did it back when the flight controllers went on strike.
Fired them that is ... I know this is different, but a great way to leagaly reduce the work force.

Should those lay offs take place would it be viewed positively or negatively by the American public?

POTUS being forced by Nancy Pelosi to reduce the size of the federal government is like a fiscal conservative's wet dream come true! Do it! He should cancel the Super Bowl for security reasons amid the shutdown as well! POTUS should also add that "if" he does fill those positions again he will be looking toward the military and veterans as the first source of new hires. Make the deep state shallow!

Well, porn hub visits during working hours grew, makes one wonder what all those USG employees are doing with their time.

I think the public only cares to know what their favorite news outlet tells them. Unless they are directly affected by the shut down I doubt they fully understand or care. For many I fear its about the party and little else. As this article suggests it may take a catastrophe for a solution. But for now the public's daily dose of drama lies elsewhere. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...utdown/580639/ I've been a gub'nt employee most of my life. Having been in the U.S.C.G. you get pretty good pay and benefits, but you earn every freaking dime of it. When I worked as a national park ranger I saw quite a few (not all) people just milling about smartly pay check to pay check inventing ways to make themselves indispensable. I am impacted by this shutdown in that I may not receive "reduced pay for reduced services" a.k.a. the military retirement at the end of this month. Will it hurt? Yes, as I included that money in life's decisions. But I also know it isn't a right but like anything dealing with the military only a privilege to receive one. I invest and save for such occasions but even that cant last forever. I think EVERY elected official involved in this shut down boondoggle should remain at their job WITHOUT pay and benefits until this is resolved. And if layoffs are a motive behind this Id like them to find a better way than punishing everyone to fire few.

Russia takes model that made collusion claims against Trump out of the game.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46922420 It was a dumb idea by her to book a flight that crossed Russian or Russian-allied territory with a stop on ground in there. I fear she now will disappear from free life for as long as it might be found opportune - for one reason or the other. If she even lives to tell.

So true, but in their defense they are for the most part too busy with work and home life and cell phones etc etc
