The shut down cost in excess of $23 billion . The relief "package" is offering Iran $7 billion in aid. Already the Repukes are saying the President is offering bribes, selling out, and making deals to fog up the controversy they are manufacturing concerning the ACA.
The way I figure it, the Democrats should throw this in the face of any asshole that brings up the relief given to try to accomplish a modicum of peace in this world.

Since the oil sales, etc., are from India, China, etc., there is little if any money coming from the US.
