It has to be driving Donald Trump absolutely bonkers that he's being owned by a woman. I'm sure he cannot stand it that Pelosi keeps calling his bluff and embarrassing him.

The majority don't want the wall. The Dems are willing to discuss more border security, but Trump has to have his little monument. They both need to get serious about border security and immigration reform. Meanwhile, Trump gets to proudly own this shutdown like he said he would.

Why would creditors or banks start penalizing folks for missed payments, with otherwise excellent credit, when they know its only due to the shutdown?

No one is going to do something stupid over 1 or 2 missed payamnets after they just explained to their creditors what’s going on. If anything they’ll just extend the loan out.
Hard to believe they would penalize folks? You might want to look at what is already happening.

So tell me again how these unpaid workers should be happy with their little "vacation" because it'll all be okay when it's over? A little research on your part could prove eye-opening.

Everyone deserves to be paid for their work.

I wish you and your family well through this trying time.

What Pelosi is doing to federal workers and contract employees is unconscionable. Heck, she was going to fly off to the other side of the world and put them on hold for ten days.

You apparently don't understand that it takes two to tango. That means your idols, Schumer and Pelosi, also play a role in this shutdown. I won't resort to calling them juvenile names since I'm not stooping to your level. BTW---grow up

Democrats claim to care so much for their constituents. Most of us know that is far from the truth. Instead, democrats care about illegal aliens instead of Americans.

They don't care about the furloughed government employees. Their tales of woe fall on deaf democrat ears.

Both sides need to come together and work out a deal. And you know it, too.
