Trump's shut down is the plan to allow mass, permanent, firings of Federal workers

A government shut down is part of the Trump administration plan to permanently reduce the size of the US Federal workforce.

I posted the breaking on this a week ago:

• White House is instructing federal agencies to prepare plans for mass firings

It sure looks like Trump is very happy with the likely shut down.

• If the US government shuts down there will be no NFP report on Friday
• US' Schumer says its up to Republicans if they want to shut down - Trump pulls the strings
