Conspiracy theory of the day: RIF them all

The latest conspiracy theory about the US gov't shutdown is that Trumpieboy is letting the Dems and their MSM supporters blame it on him while ignoring their stonewalling of a minor expenditure to make a border wall.

So why is he doing this?

Because RIF: if it lasts long enough it will cause an automatic Reduction in Force. (automatic layoffs of unneeded personnel).

Since you can't really fire US government employees, this is a good way to get rid of the dead weight of non productive employees.

Voila: A leaner meaner more productive government workforce.

if you are RIFed, you can be transferred to another job, or maybe just lose your job.

One problem? A lot of the MSM is printing sob stories of laid off employees. Sigh.

and then there is the ripple effect on businesses: no new beers allowed because no one is there to check their labels are correct.
