McConnell to introduce a short-term govt funding bill for voting TODAY with no border wall funding
Even Trump is backing off on funding the border wall. We’ve been played again.What else is new? Maybe he realizes he’s up against a stacked deck and cannot possibly prevail when his own party stabs him in the back at every turn?
There will never be any funding for the long-promised wall. It’s all hyperbole designed to keep us hoping somebody will do something for the middle class Americans who pay the freight for all these freeloaders.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on Wednesday that a short-term bill to fund the government through Feb. 8 will be introduced later this morning, a deal that would avert a partial government shutdown over the Christmas holiday.
That resolution will not include $5 billion in funding for the border wall that President Donald Trump said was a must in order to have his approval in order to fund key parts of the federal government before they run out of operating authority on Friday.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that Democrats would support the stopgap measure.
“Yesterday, we made some progress. Thankfully, President Trump appears to have backed down from demanding $5 billion for a border wall,” he said.
