I don’t think the “bad things” part would actually be shut down. At least not most of it. The entire federal govt doesn’t actually just stop.
The military and any federal LEO will remain functioning. This is how they dismantle everything in the federal government except for the parts that keep them protected. No hassle of removing people and replacing them with people who will shut themselves down, like the DoE. Now everything is just shut off. Done.
