  • There must be millions of Americans who have jobs that are at least partially funded by the government, but aren’t directly working for the federal government. It may also apply to literally every employee of a state government that relies on federal grants. It’s highly, highly illegal to do what he’s doing. Not to mention the people who rely on the services those workers provide. Healthcare, case management, funding for food assistance, the way it’s worded, there is no industry that doesn’t touch.

    All currently ongoing medical and scientific studies will grind to a halt. Possibly subsidies to industries that have lobbied for those. It’s just a truly mind-bogglingly large change. 3 trillion dollars per year. Arts grants. Maybe federal student loan disbursements? Those would be exempt because they go to individuals, I guess?

    There are people whose full-time job is grant writing, which means applying for grants from the government for their non-profit organizations.

    The other problem is it’s very vague.
