It is simply wrong to continue to carry out business as usual when there is so much wrong. All those people that make the orderly State of the Union possible are not receiving their paychecks. Their personal lives are in disarray and the man causing the disruption in their lives wants to have his priorities undisturbed.
I sincerely believe Speaker Pelosi is a champion for the people. I have never seen her so committed to protect the legislative capacity of the US House. She wants employees for the federal government back to work. It is unthinkable that President Trump is not so disturbed by the disruptions with the US Coast Guard and the FBI that he simply has to consider a different time and method to demand $5.7 billion for his political wall at the southern border.
The President of the USA is supposed to protect the country and it's people and no matter where one looks, it is not happening. The president is derelict.
The US House's recent proposal was to provide $5.7 billion for a smart wall at the southern border. Trump says no.
I am confident Speaker Pelosi will continue to seek ways of bringing federal employees back to work. In all honesty, I believe the Congress has to do it without the president. It just is unrealistic to believe this can continue much longer and secure the country and the president is uninterested in the US House's proposals.
The US House Leadership needs to present their proposal of the $5.7 billion to the people so there is no misunderstanding as to the viable solution they have drawn up and why it is a good solution.
