In the video Mulvaney says they await a counter offer to the 5 billion and might consider a number between that and 1.5 that dems have offered.
By a show of hands what would a Trump/Conservative victory number look like? Whatever would piss off the dem base the most would work for me. That’s usually an indicator.
But would freepers here like seeing an agreement of around 3 billion for now? We know it’s just the start of the 25 for full wall funding.
The 5 is already a counter offer.
>> We know it’s just the start
Actually, if he gets anything it’s the last amount he gets.
He’ll have a Democrat House that will be under a lot of pressure from its base to impeach him, and he may well get impeached.
There is a very good chance they’ll vote to impeach him if he shuts down the government to get further funding for a wall.
What percentage of the government is shutdown and what is the total budgeted cost of that part?
Can we list the twenty most critical functions that are shutdown and the estimated budget cost of each?
If the democrats want these portions funded and reopened, maybe we can deal on at least half. I don’t know the total cost they’re demanding, but it’s no doubt a very large number. If the total budget cost they’re demanding is $200 billion or more (for example), I’d think that the president may let them cut a small percentage, say 3% - 5% out of each dept’s budget and allocate that amount to the wall.
This FReeper most certainly would NOT!!! $5billion or nuthin'. The gvt can stay shutdown for all of 2019 if needed.
It's interesting that AFAIK, neither Nancy nor Chuckles has said anything about the Go Fund Me Wall.
NO! Not a penny less than 5 Billion. The Dems need to be reminded they promised funding for the wall to Ronald Reagan in exchange for Amnesty. They got Amnesty but we did not get the wall. No MORE GIFTS To THE DEMS! Stand our ground on this issue and we will have less problems in the future. In fact, I would suggest adding 1 billion more to the demand for each week the government is closed due to the Dems stubbornness and treachery.
