ymarkovАнонимный (от страха) "высокопоставленный федеральный чиновник" надеется, что Трамп использует остановку правительства, чтобы "выкурить сопротивление" — то есть выгнать нахрен побольше обструкционистов:
The lapse in appropriations is more than a battle over a wall. It is an opportunity to strip wasteful government agencies for good.
On an average day, roughly 15 percent of the employees around me are exceptional patriots serving their country. I wish I could give competitive salaries to them and no one else. But 80 percent feel no pressure to produce results. If they don’t feel like doing what they are told, they don’t.
...
Most of my career colleagues actively work against the president’s agenda. This means I typically spend about 15 percent of my time on the president’s agenda and 85 percent of my time trying to stop sabotage, and we have no power to get rid of them. Until the shutdown.
...
But President Trump can end this abuse. Senior officials can reprioritize during an extended shutdown, focus on valuable results and weed out the saboteurs. We do not want most employees to return, because we are working better without them.

When agencies furlough employees for more than 30 calendar days or 22 discontinuous work days, they must use RIF procedures.
An employee can be terminated or moved into an available position[.]

Если из наших 50-и инженеров оставить 5, я буду чувствовать себя лучше, а производительность не просто улучшится, а рванет вверх так, как ещё никто не видел. Если в такой же пропорции сократить менеджеров, то мы устроим базу на Альфе Центавра буквально через 10 лет. Но этого, конечно, никогда не случится.
