It was a message repeated several times at a Democrat news conference Tuesday afternoon: Republicans, agree with us on a spending bill, or we’ll blame you for shutting down the government.
And it appears that Republicans, who control all three branches of government, are listening:
“Now last night, we received a bit of good news — not just for Democrats but for the country — that the president is easing off his demands for a border wall in the government funding bill,” Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told the news conference.
“The money is better used elsewhere,” Schumer said. “If the wall is $50 billion, you could use that money to give just about every American broadband.” …

I like your plan.
The money we pay for all the illegals could more pay for that and all our utilities.
Also, the $10+ trillion obama ran up could have given us all so much more. Instead, we’ve got a debt we cannot repay.
“that the president is easing off his demands for a border wall in the government funding”
One Billion from a Trillion budget, and Trump still backed down. Pitiful..
T is on his way o becoming a 1-term president by caving on his important promises. Veto bills not providing for the wall and let’s observe how we can get along with less government.
It could also be used to buy every lunatic in his party a straitjacket. Including him.
Oh Chuck, I think if you asked most American citizens whether they wanted broadband or The Wall, they’d say The Wall, especially since it’s their money you’re talking about.
I’m rhyming deprived today, but I’ll work on it; it will come to me, LOL.
Well, unless there are some quick, sudden surprise reversals, the district judges, Ryan and Chuck are beating our hero like an orange-haired stepchild.
One billion from a Trillion dollar budget, and Trump still backed down...Pitiful
Is that like a free obama phone???
Broadband
Is that like a girl band?
Chuckie ... O’Reilly got in trouble for careless language like that.
“If the wall is $50 billion, you could use that money to give just about every American broadband.” …

And if it was used to keep illegals out then it would
provide many more jobs for all Americans.
That’s not your job, Shyster.
didn;t Bruce Jenner do something similar and I never heard any woman complaining.
They all voted for it before voting for broadband,
Schumer thinks small. You gotta think BIG like Nicholas Maduro. That wall money could be used to buy guns and uniforms for a million strong army of democrat “peace keepers” to clean up our streets of pesky Trumpsters. Obama’s already busy recruiting in Chicago.
How do you think I feel? I had to look up fungible :)
Building the wall will keep cheap labor out so that Americans can get a job and buy their own broadband.
pulled his $50 billion number out of his ......
lockbox
Oh, that would be Lindsey, but without the lock.
...Schumer: Money for Border Wall Could Be Used to ‘Give Just About Every American Broadband’...
Two can play that game Chucky.
Money for the Border Wall will be used to save wasting billions on illegals’ benefits and protect those here legally from crimes committed by illegals.
