Possible Government Shutdown

Ron Burgundy said:
Back in '94 when the Dems shut down the govt, Bill Clinton simply borrowed several billion from the govt employee union's pension fund. I don't see why they wouldn't do the same for Trump.

I think those funds are drying up. The Government has a new retirement system for it’s employees (FERS). The old system that Clinton ripped off was (CSRS). I don’t think there’s anything in FERS that the president can get to.

What about the unused billions in the Clinton Slush Fund, a.k.a., the "Clinton Foundation"?

Trump to Democrats: no immigration talk until U.S. government reopened

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers took a tough stance on Saturday after the U.S. Congress failed to fund federal agencies, saying they would not negotiate on immigration until Democrats help end the government shutdown.

But not just any Republican President would force their hands so successfully.

My daughter's accounting professor has to rework some of their final semester accounting rules and methodology for the course because of the new tax law. She graduates with her Bachelors in Accounting May 5th. The first in my immediate family of German immigrants to earn a four year degree. I am estatic!!! Winning!!!

Damn right! We don’t negotiate with terrorists.
 
Meh. I get a couple of days off and eventually get paid for 'em. Like being on leave without having to take leave.

I think it was 1996 that the Government shut down for about a week. And I never missed a pay day.
 
A few congress critters, including one here in MO, are donating their salaries to charity until the shutdown is over. A political move? Sure. But it's the right move to make.

We were notified Saturday to report on your next duty day to sign your furlough paperwork and then you are released.
 
I'm seeing folks on Facebook stating that the great negotiator isn't doing a great job negotiating. I think he is. He stated and states clearly in his book "The Art of the Deal", if it's not a good deal, just walk away, the other party will come back and try and make a deal. A lot of times, the deal gets better when they come back. This is Trump being Trump.
 
Negotiating to liberals means they give up some bullshit thing they don't care about and the republicans cave and give up everything else. So of course they think Trump is not negotiating. He should have caved by now in their view.

Exactly. The thing they can't seem to grasp is that they have nothing, nothing. Trump doesn't have to bend on DACA.

It is all in what a person wants to believe. Same for the other side.

Trump needs to negotiate with McConnell and get him to have an actual filibuster in the Senate.
