Aside from highlighting the need for the wall or steel
barrier at the southern border, I have a feeling or hypothesis before that US President Trump also wants to cut the bloated bureaucracy via "shutdown." This article has somehow confirmed my hypothesis.
'Senior Trump
Official': "I Hope A Long Shutdown Smokes Out The Resistance"
by Tyler Durden

" 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... It is an opportunity to strip wasteful
government agencies for good.
Due to the lack of
funding, many federal agencies are now operating more effectively from the top
down on a fraction of their workforce, with only select essential personnel
serving national security tasks. One might think this is how government should
function, but bureaucracies operate from the bottom up — a collective of
self-generated ideas. Ideas become initiatives, formalize into offices, they
seek funds from Congress and become bureaus or sub-agencies, and maybe one day
grow to be their own independent agency, like ours. The nature of a big
administrative bureaucracy is to grow to serve itself. I watch it and fight it
daily….
The president’s
instincts are right. Most Americans will not miss non-essential government
functions. A referendum to end government plunder must happen. Wasteful
government agencies are fighting for relevance but they will lose. Now is the
time to deliver historic change by cutting them down forever."
The on-going shutdown could also mean less climate alarmism among US government science and climate agencies?
