Merry Christmas from Donald Trump

Thanks Wilbur Ross for your input

"For the past five years, the Federal Reserve has asked people about their personal finances in a major survey. The 2017 Report on the Economic Wellbeing of US Households stated that, when asked how they would cover an emergency expense of $400, 59% said they could easily cover the expense using entirely cash, savings, or a credit card paid off at the next statement, while “four in ten adults would either borrow, sell something or not be able to pay” if faced with such an emergency expense. Even without an unexpected expense, the Fed reported, one in five (22%) can’t cover all their current month’s bills, and one in four skipped a medical treatment in the past year due to an inability to pay".

And imagine that's only $400. How do you then cover rent, insurance and utilities if you can't cover $400?!

Even those making over six figures said they struggle to make ends meet, the report said. Nearly 1 in 10 of those making $100,000 or more said they usually or always live paycheck to paycheck, and 59 percent of those in that salary range said they were in the red.https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/24/most...-paycheck.html

When Trump institutes his state of emergency and redirects money from the Pentagon and military to build his wall, it will be proof positive of overspending in the military. If Donald can just reallocate 7 billion, then the military didn't need it in the first place.

you can't build a wall for $5B. Let's start with that fun fact. Next fun fact: walls can and will be breeched. I don't agree with the other poster that you spend that incremental $5B annually. But initially to improve infrastructure (more vehicles, drones, computer technology) in addition to more agents on the ground that would go a long way. And it will get done much faster than a wall ever will (there's already legal challenges in court from land owners and environmental groups. It wouldn't even start for years). Presumedly after that then there's only the annual increased salary costs and infrastructure replacement every few years.

One thing the GOP never seems to talk about is levying bigger fines for employers who knowingly hire illegals. Make it hurt. If it's harder to work here illegally then fewer will try to come in (and an estimated 70% come in legally anyway). Also, if we had a bigger system for legal temporary workers then the pool of illegal workers shrinks. Common sense stuff, or you'd think so any way.

i just built a wall for 30K- you can build a lot of wall for 5 B- thats a fun fact
unmanned walls will be breached for sure as time is required- but walls provide the time needed for the border patrol to at least control the current situation
Drones and Cameras are for documenting not stopping- unless you are advocating arming the drones?
there are also land owners who welcome the wall, and they live right on the Border- are you willing to let the Sierra club run the national security of the US-Im not

you want to go after employers fine and finding illegals that come in legally takes more time, but thats what ICE is for- this is a border patrol issue, not ICE

Ive got an idea- stop the invasion on the Southern Border,keep track of the visas better so you can catch the overstays, make the employers pay dearly if caught, stop giving illegals benefits- then they will stop and you can get rid of ICE

Hey Ann and Rush, do you see what Donaldo just did?

[Unregistered]

And how does that help them buy groceries and gas now?

Why doesn't the President simply sign the spending bills already put before him? How does he continue to justify his political objective by punishing federal workers? How can anyone not see the simple wrongness in this tactic and how do you defend the total lack of empathy he has here towards those he and he alone has hurt through this decision he has made and promised to "own" once made?

Why doesn't he call the Democrats bluff, open the government and then sit down at the negotiating table and be the master he claims to be? How could he lose the court of public opinion if he continues to negotiate then? Won't he put all the pressure on the Democrats to come to the table and resolve all this?

He called their bluff.

He can declare his little borders emergency ( so convenient that his emergency just waits around until he he is ready to declare it...most emergencies are not so cooperative) then it can get tied up he court until he is out of office and we can be done with it

Ok great. Then we can waste buckets of money removing whatever monstrosity he tries to build. Sounds so useless but what else is new.

Well, if he declares an emergency to use American tax money to pay for the wall he promised Mexico would buy, and if he uses the emergency to implement pet projects around the objections of Congress, then that's a clear path for Democratic Presidents to use declarations of emergency to tackle our gun-violence emergency and your healthcare emergency.

So, bring it.

Good point. Yes bring it. I will gladly tolerate the wall to get to those two items which r real emergencies.

A week full of W-I-N-N-I-N-G -! ...... next week will be more WINNING and the Week after WINNING again.

WINNING WINNING WINNING & More WINNING when will this WINNING end it’s just too much WINNING.

He called their bluff.

No he didn't. He caved and kicked the can down the road for three more weeks.

Also his caving today was no mere coincidence with Stone's arrest. He had to sacrifice the shutdown front to shore up the Russian one. He's losing on more fronts than Hitler at the end of WWII.
