There is no way you can lay off 300,000+ federal workers, shut the entire federal government down for 40 days, dramatically increase prices by imposing tariffs, shut down food and other exports by pissing off the buying countries, and allow huge increases in heathcare insurance premiums without causing a recession or worse.
