United States Vice President JD Vance wants everyone to believe that it is “necessary” to fire some federal workers to ensure the rest of them keep working, and he thinks it is for the best.

Not only that, but they were also alleging that the Democrats would be held responsible if the shutdown happened. Unsurprisingly, they are holding ground on both promises.
