let not forget the 4.5 billion the tax payer lost by paying furloughed worker for providing no service. note i am not saying they should not be paid, but the taxpayers did not get the services for that 4.5 billion
There will never be another government shutdown under Trump. He messed the last one up so badly. The turning point was Air Traffic Control shutting down the airport and his rich friends' jets could not take off. Federal workers know their value and they know have reminded us.
He wasn’t asking - he was holding the government hostage to get his way.
Apple and oranges ABC. The economy versus a governmental expenditure is hardly comparable.
NookAppolloni Thanks Mancy!
Thank the Democrats. The lack of wall contributes to a cost of more than a 100 billion due to illegals jumping our boarders. Sit and think about that.
The Dems should have given the funds for the wall. It would have harmed less federal workers. Mark Morgan, Obama's Border Patrol Chief, says the wall is a necessity & is not immoral. In 2016, Dems supported.
This man should not be running this government like his businesses, Hes rich because its inherited money and he srcew people who works for him.
TrumpShutdown
He shut the parts if they government down because he didn’t get his way! He hurt the nation by doing it. He cost the nation money. He is not mature enough to lead this nation. He will do it again this time he could wait until September and shut all the country down. Impeach now.
5.7 Billion dollars is twelve hours of what we spend in the government... SchumerShutdown
Well Palestinian are offering to help ... I guess it will work good for all and no more shutdown!
That is an inaccurate estimate. It fails to consider the cost of penalties for late payments, interest on loans, the increased cost of borrowing (by fed employees and fed contract employees) arising from the long term damage to their credit rating. It ignores 1/
Because funding party BOOZE Air Force flights for SCUM Pelosi and friends is much more prudent!
Fake news! imo
let's not waste an additional $5.7 on a campaign stunt/ego wall
Well that $5.7 billion is just a down payments,the total would be an estimated $ 75 billion dollars or more + $ 150 million or more yearly to maintain
Pelosi and Schumer has been in Congress for 30 years and done nothing. How do you explain the FlipFlop of the century, SenSchumer?
One thing I’ve realized since this scum got into office is I now research EVERYTHING-He and Putin have undoubtedly succeeded in people questioning polls statistics quotes even! Their evil is PURE! Don’t fall for the BULLSHIT PEEPS! WE HAVE TO GET HIM OUT NOW!
Great job, Democrats. Way to fight for the citizens of Central America. No wonder they want to raise our taxes. They need to give away all our money to every country from Mexico to Venezuela.
Americans are paying to support 12 million illegal immigrants. And more are coming. American citizens are not receiving the same free benefits in healthcare & education as illegal immigrants. NBCNews CBSNews FoxNews WSJ realDonaldTrump senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC
Oh wow they finally figured out it was hurting the economy. Seriously 🙄. Can’t take much more stupidity
So Schumer & Pelosi should have given the money for the wall. you should also report the cost of illegals. By far less expensive to build the wall.
Yes but cost was borne by taxpayers not Trump.
Significant cost
It’s not about the money it’s about the principle of us not being that country literally being walled off from those around us.
Too bad about the Democrats. We could have had something to show for our money. A wall.
Yep. Send the bill to the offices of SpeakerPelosi and SenSchumer . They’ve made enough money while in office (somehow) to cover it.
My thoughts exactly! $6B wasted. realDonaldTrump is insane and senile. What a combination!
But open borders and not protecting US jobs was worth more to Democrats than the wall. Trump was surprised by their indefinite commitment to destroying US Jobs.
Unless you're SpeakerPelosi and opposing Trump is more important than our country. In her eyes, that's priceless.
And?.......HE shut the government down and said he'd take full credit for it. That means HE held America hostage for more than thirty days!!
New secret video of Trump is out. What he's like in private as well as public.
Gee, I wonder how Trump managed to screw up a casino.
So not only will nothing be done about the crisis at the border, but our country is poorer. Well done, Pelosi! This is what Democrats call 'governing', and they wonder why they keep losing elections
hmm guess the idiots should have just given him the money for the wall and saved a few hundred thousand! or maybe the dems wanted to give more 3rd world countries our tax dollars for abortions and other stupid shit!!
They could save big if they hurry in soon to their local Dodge dealership & buy a brand new dodge ram for 0 down & 0% APR financing
Illegal immigration costs us $200 Billion a year though..... facts matter
