Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats will not vote for a must-pass government funding bill next month if it includes money for construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"That will not stand," Schumer, D-N.Y., warned Monday in a Senate floor speech. "It would be inappropriate in our judgement to insist on the inclusions of such funding in a must-pass appropriations bill that is needed by the Republican majority to avoid a government shutdown."
A short-term funding measure expires in April.

If the government shuts down, can President Trump get his cabinet finished without all these jerks in Congress???
Also, can he push through the Health Care bill he wants while this is being done???

Oh good! Bet President Trump keeps the veterans’ “parks” open!
To: HarleyLady27
Fire most of the communists Democrats in Government and we will have plenty of funds available. Drain the Swamp.

“Parks” is a very poor choice of words! “Memorials” is much better!
To: HarleyLady27
Sounds good to me. Betcha Trump’s definition of “essential” gov’t services is a lot different from Obama’s.

How can the Dems shut down the Government?? Only IF the Republicans go along with them?? So I guess it is a risk, knowing what weenies the elected Republicans in DC are.
