Government Shutdown is a Fantastic Idea Looking for a reason to support a government shutdown? If so, please consider Obama Stripped to Skeleton Staff in a Government Shutdown. A U.S. government shutdown means President Barack Obama will have fewer people to cook meals, do the laundry, clean the floors or change the light bulbs, according to a White House contingency plan. About three-fourths of president’s 1,701-person staff would be sent home. The national security team would be cut back, fewer economists would be tracking the economy and there wouldn’t be as many budget officials to track spending. Of the total, 438 people work directly for the president. Under a shutdown, 129 could continue working, according to the contingency plan. Biden, who has a staff of 24, would have had to make do with 12. Obama’s national security staff of 66 would be cut to 42. Similar staff cuts would be imposed at the White House Office of Management and Budget, the Council on Environmental Quality, the Council of Economic Advisers and the Office of National Drug Control Policy, which are all part of the president’s executive office.Fantastic Idea If you think that a government shutdown is a fantastic idea (I sure do), then please contact your elected representatives and let them know.
