“As one of the senior officials working without a paycheck, a few words of advice for the president’s next move at shuttered government agencies: lock the doors, sell the furniture, and cut them down.”
“The first thing we need out of this is better security, particularly at the southern border. Our founders envisioned a free market night watchman state, not the bungled bloated bureaucracy our government has become. But we have to keep the uniformed officers paid, which is an emergency.

The shutdown only needs to last a few more days before the permanent layoffs can begin. Meanwhile, the Democrats in the House are trying to make sure the lawyers in the DoJ get the power to control elections.
