Short answer: only 25%.
I started this thread to ask this question to the board, but lo a behold, Fake News CNN had the answer for me. No link because frick them.
"If a shutdown takes place, it would be limited in scope. That's because Congress has already funded roughly 75% of the federal government through September 2019, including the Pentagon as well as the Departments of Health and Human Services and Labor.
But that doesn't mean a partial shutdown just days before Christmas wouldn't be disruptive.
There are still seven spending bills that need to be passed and funding is set to expire on December 21 for the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, the Interior Department, the State Department, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and other parts of the government.
In the event of a shutdown, some federal employees would be deemed essential and would continue to work, but their pay would be withheld until the shutdown is over."
Funding expires for these few gubment agencies on December 21 at midnight.

So you're saying you don't believe the 25% number?

I don't get it. Is that some sort of pop-culture reference I'm supposed to be familiar with?
But honestly, your quoting "fake news", are you saying it's false?

If they're NOT "essential" then WTF are we paying them for in the first place?

Exactly.
Shut 25% down permanently.
Then freeze all budgets going forward.

when you consider defense is a HUGE part of that 75% number, it’s closer to 50% of civilian agencies.
Edit: the funding affects exactly 50% of the civilian government.
