Trump's compromise solution seems reasonable. Why are Democrats opposing this?

[toomuchtime_]

We got a better trade deal, and we're gonna save billions when the wall is completed.

Keeping in mind that the money saved by this alleged “better” trade deal doesn’t mean more money in the US Federal coffers; it means better deals for our companies that buy and sell things to Mexico.

Actually, it does mean more money in federal coffers. Federal tax revenues are up under President Trump because the combination of the tax cuts and tariff protections have created more jobs and profits to tax.

"Taxes: Critics of the Trump tax cuts said they would blow a hole in the deficit. Yet individual income taxes climbed 6% in the just-ended fiscal year 2018, as the economy grew faster and created more jobs than expected.

The Treasury Department reported this week that individual income tax collections for FY 2018 totaled $1.7 trillion. That's up $14 billion from fiscal 2017, and an all-time high. And that's despite the fact that individual income tax rates got a significant cut this year as part of President Donald Trump's tax reform plan."

Meanwhile back in reality... the national debt continues to grow; now over a trillion dollars a year.

Because of high spending, but contrary to the doomsday forecasts about the tax cut, federal tax revenues have increased, not decreased, because of the tax cuts and tariffs.

sure…whatever you say.

That's what the facts say.

 

[Blackrook]

Yes, he did. Check the news, its all over the place that Buzzfeed lied, and CNN and all the networks repeated the lie.

Mr. Mueller did not say anything about Buzzfeed lying.

Yes, he did. You're obviously not paying attention to the news.

No. I’m paying attention to the quote from the OIC. It doesn’t say Buzzfeed was lying. You should inform yourself.

Buzzfeed printed an untrue story. That's lying. What would you call it?

No dumbass, that is not lying.

Lying is when you intentionally mislead, there is no evidence of that.

Journalists are held to a higher standard. They must actively seek verification before they print a story. Otherwise what they're printing isn't "news" it's "gossip".

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

He is assuming the Democrats will agree to a temporary solution for the Dreamers so that a permanent wall can be built.

The permanent nature of a wall is the reason Democrats are shitting their pants. They know it will work.

That is all we need to know.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Democrats will have to explain to the American people why they won't agree to Trump's reasonable plan.

A wall stops their voters.

 

[AntonToo]

Trump promised Mexico will pay for the wall. Tomorrow will be 2 years. How much have we gotten from Mexico so far?

We got a better trade deal, and we're gonna save billions when the wall is completed.

Where are we spending more? Most federal programs have been cut. Explain.

Which federal programs have been cut liar?

Cut = spend less this year than last

Cut <> only get an 80% increase in funding instead of the planned 90%

Wait, you mean Trump’s not cutting spending? Isn’t he a conservative? If he isn’t…why are you supporting him?

It's funny how they are not even trying deny it anymore. They know nobody believes their commie asses.

SCOTUS and a wall to stop your commie voter fraud.

[Auld Phart]

Awwww. He's so reasonably promising to let the hostages go if he gets what he wants.

What a guy!

Hostages? Is that what Clinton was during his shutdown?

If the Dems want the government to reopen, they need to pass a bill that a Republican majority Senate and President Trump will sign off on. Simple as that.

Quit acting as if this how the things are supposed to work or that there is anything reasonable about what Trump is demanding.

that there is anything reasonable about what Trump is demanding.

What part is unreasonable?

The shutdown is unreasonable. Why does Trump not restart the government and then enter into negotiations for a wall? The answer is obvious, he cannot get what he wants by the constitutionally mandated government procedures. The government is not supposed to work this way and he cannot be allowed to succeed.

Why does Trump not restart the government and then enter into negotiations for a wall?

Why doesn't Pelosi want to negotiate?

Today, he offered EVERYTHING the Democrats claim they want, yet Pelosi said NO before he ever went on the air, because the wall is included.

 

[Darkwind]

All he's asking for is $5 billion to bolster border security, which is a very tiny percentage of the national budget.

What's the problem, Democrats?

The problem is that the Democrats don't want border security. Why? Cuz most of those illegals coming across the southern borders will mostly be future Dem voters. And of course Trump wants it, so they're against it.

Remember this.

The census counts illegals in the population census. Right now, California has something like 7 or 9 electoral votes more than they should have if the illegals were striken from the census. For every 770k people in the census, Congress gets another House seat.

Since California and other sanctuary states are wholly Democrat owned, who do you think those extra seats will benefit and in the big dance, who do you think those Electoral votes will benefit?

 

[basquebromance]

"Pro-American immigration reformers say President Trump’s plan to offer a work permit amnesty to about a million illegal aliens and foreign nationals could encourage more caravans of Central Americans to come to the United States at the U.S-Mexico border."

Texas and Florida, the two next largest populations of illegals and foreigners are Republican states and they too get extra representatives....

What we know is federal tax revenues are up, yet the deficit is growing, so we must not have cut very much or we must be spending more on other things. The point is the tax cut, the tariffs and the trade negotiations have revived the stagnant economy President Trump inherited and increased federal tax revenues, so every the Democrats would be happy if they cared about America or the American people.
