I mean going 100% obstructionist would leave federal employees out of an income and generally play into the GOP’s hands. The best play here is to use their leverage to pass a favorable budget, and maybe get concessions elsewhere.
Federal employees are being fired en masse without cause and replaced with ones who toe the line. Any federal employee who isn’t already being targeted should probably be looking for new work anyway, to be honest.
