#TrumpsHealthCareShutdown is. Based on a lie. It is not about wasteful spending. Our healthcare funding does not subsidize care for unauthorized immigrants federal law forbids that. Trump says shutdowns mean the president is weak. The last three shutdowns have been his.

+ finds the missing $17 trillion...

Seems he'd have more than enough $$$ to fund America's health care...

infrastructure...

libraries...

school lunch prorams...

housing for the homeless + veterans...

public broadcasting...

as well as hire a bunch of lawyers to solve the immigration backlog...

w/ $$$ left over to top off America's Social Security fund...

Look harder, Krasnov...
