While past government shutdowns treated federal workers like hibernating bears on temporary furloughs, the Trump White House just dropped a new memo with dreams bigger than a toddler's nightmare: permanent budget cuts. No more "see you later," just "bye forever" funding slashes. Unlike your usual shutdowns where employees get to binge-watch government TV until Congress calls back, this memo hints at turning temporary pains into lifetime gain—for the budget, not the workers. Sounds less like a memo and more like a breakup text from Uncle Sam, dated 2020s era leadership, where temporary is so last shutdown.
