Trump's shut down was well planned, we had the news on this a couple of weeks ago:
- White House is instructing federal agencies to prepare plans for mass firings
Thee are hopes for a repreive but its not what the administration wants.
Trump now:
- a lot of good will come from shut down
- going to be laying off a lot of people when there is a shut down
The US labour market is already stumbling, the lay offs will add to woes.
