Leaked reports of today's last minute Trump/Schumer meeting indicate

Basically he want's a "parity" budget, addressing all kinds of budget
issues that haven't even been discussed or negotiated yet.


In the history of the United States, there has never been a government
shutdown because of funding while the same party is in control of the
House, the Senate, and the Presidency.

If you are looking for someone to blame, blame Trump and his incompetency.


Nope. This one is squarely on the Democrats and in particular their
Senate leader Schumer. You can try to spin it all you want but even the
NYTimes has stated that the Democrats blocked passage of the budget.
