I find it unpleasant that Trump will sacrifice the entire workforce's pay just to have the two political parties agree on a wall that might not happen. In my opinion, that isn't effective leadership. As a country, we literally lived through the longest government shutdown so far. What comes after this? I don't understand why Trump is putting so much emphasis on securing the border as extremely as he is when he could be focusing on other important things that could benefit the country better.

Considering how the shutdown has played out so far, I cannot say I have high hopes for the conclusion of the three weeks deadline. Although this reopening is only temporary, I feel that an agreement must be reached, and that it is imperative that there be an alternate to Trump simply shutting down the government again, like a child throwing a temper tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Federal workers should not have to work without pay for a petty disagreement. This will just happen again in 3 weeks because neither side is willing to backdown.
ReplyDeleteI agree he needs to be more focused on things that can actually help the country in need for right now. This shutdown is absolutely ridiculous and makes no sense at all.
ReplyDeleteI agree, this shut down came out of nowhere and he should focus on bigger issues that the country is facing.~ Stephannie Hernandez
ReplyDeleteTo put peoples lives on the line on a decision about a wall is so unnecessary. There are times when I wish it was 2020 because he is definitely not going to have a 2nd term with this shutdown dropping his acceptance rates.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping it doesn't come to a shutdown again. There have been people writing legislation that would make another shutdown impossible, so hopefully that works out.
