Bureaucrat squabbling over the budget. All of them will still receive their pay. The President will still receive his pay. Secret service personnel, homeland security, border patrol, coast guard and the TSA will all continue. U.S. military forces will remain in a slough of countries they shouldn't be in. The CIA's budgets are not threatened. The NSA can still work on its $2b facility out in the Utah desert. Taxes will still be collected.
They will not allow anything critical in their regime to go down over something petty like this. We're not that lucky.
But, instead, they are going to make people in the lowest rungs suffer as much as possible for it, even though they bear zero responsibility for it. People who aren't responsible for the squabble in the first place. This will motivate them to outcry and demand capitulation to the easiest and quickest solution.
That's what it seems like anyway.
