In the past they've always been furloughed; but firings fit the inhumane Trump Agenda..

The Office of Management and Budget told government agencies to prepare for big layoffs of federal workers if the government shuts down on Tuesday.

Federal workers in past shutdowns were typically temporarily furloughed until a budget deal was reached.

Congress has yet to reach a stopgap funding deal that would avoid a shutdown next week.

Democrats are holding firm on demands that any legislation must include an extension of the Affordable Care Act's enhanced tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of the year.

Of course this will be used as a threat against Dems, who can then be blamed for the firings...smh
