Donald Trump stated the shutdown can last years. He said that. He would rather shut down the government until November of 2020 than govern. Trump wants to be the utmost obstructionist.
What bank or credit union is going to advance government workers two years of salary without taking payment on the loan?
These government workers have been out for over one month. Any loan that was made in January would require a payment in February. What are the government workers going to do borrow the payment and another month's salary? This is crazy. This is a belligerent Republican Party dug in without caring about the country or the people that work for it.
The previous Congress gave Trump a down payment. He batted it away.
Donald Trump is not going to sign a bill into law to end the shutdown. Congress has to act to bring about an end to the government shutdown.
The US House needs to carry out oversight and vote during breaks from the committees.
