A very short quote of the Beach Boys there!
But seriously, wouldn't this be nice?
...Democrats are threatening to shut down government by not supporting the Continuing Resolution (CR) measure that passed the House and is about to reach the floor of the Senate. This threat is awesome, and we can only hope it happens....
Why should we hope this happens?
Glad you asked!!
... If the CR is not passed, the govt goes into “shutdown mode” at midnight tonight and all “nonessential” employees, as determined by the Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, are laid-off....
"Nonessential" is about 90% of non-military. Maybe IRS gets a pass to process refunds.
The rest?
Lay them off, and NO BACK-PAY.....
Wouldn't it be nice?

Thomas Massie has a point on the CR
(Washington Examiner )
“They plan to pass it with all Republicans here in the House, but after we leave town, the Democrats are going to vote for it in the Senate,” he said in a video post shortly before the House vote.
Massie attacked the bill for continuing the spending levels of the Biden administration and for not implementing any cuts to waste found by the Department of Government Efficiency.
“This is not Trump’s agenda. This is Biden’s spending agenda,” he said. “The Biden spending levels that he enjoyed for the last 15 months of his presidency will now be locked in until September 30.”
Massie voted for the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, which raised the debt limit with the condition that any future CR extending past April 30 would trigger a 1% cut in spending. He accused Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of passing the CR as separate appropriations bills to circumvent the agreement.
