Government Funding Negotiations Fall Apart

February 10, 2019 at 7:21 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Jonathan Swan: “If the talks are dead, Trump is so dug in he has only two options: shut down the government again or use his emergency powers to get the money.”

“Both options are horrible. The first would herald a return to chaos, depleted government services and federal workers being deprived of pay. The second would mean an instant court fight and a backlash from Congress.”
