The real unreported story is sad. The "people's house" that the people pay for so the government can function and discharge its responsibility is shut down again for the third time in the last two years while Trump and his party control the process. Those who work in the "people's house" deserve better and so does the American people. And the issue used by Trump to shut down the government (his wall) tells a story of how pathetic a man he really is. His party falls right in line and always picks the holiday season to use that for leverage.
Taking care of the "people's house" should come first and foremost without any strings attached and with out the usual CR extensions that provide only short term relief. All other outstanding issues should be resolved thru the regular legislative process where a debate and the merits can take place. President Trump's lies about Mexico paying for his wall and the lack of any real policy or plan by Trump and his party for comprehensive immigration reform represents immigration huffing and puffing only and renders his wall meaningless.
Trump and his party have no respect for the "people's house" even when they are in control. A short shut down or a long shut down is one and the same because it should never take place. Two years of failing to govern is not by accident. It is the result of a traitorous President and liar with the help of a extreme ideology republican party hell bent on destroying America's democratic process. Is this the proper way to say Merry Christmas to those who work in the "people's house" or to the American people?
