Democrats, and some Republicans, in Congress have driven us to a partial government shutdown over Trump's demand for $5 billion for a border wall. This is stupid. The wall may be a dumb idea, but just to put things in perspective, Americans spend an estimated $5.9 billion a year on CHEWING TOBACCO. So Democrats want to shut down the government over less money than we spend on CHEWING TOBACCO!!!!
Give Trump his $5 billion and let's reopen the government! Yes, the wall may be a dumb idea, but it is hardly the first dumb idea Congress has funded.
