Vice President Mike Pence has made it clear that he and his boss are ready to shut down the federal government once again if Democrats don’t cave and give Trump the money that he wants for his border wall. Democrats aren’t budging, and that means that we could be just a single week away from enduring another government shutdown, complete with billions of dollars worth of economic damage. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Yesterday morning, Mike Pence, vice president appeared on CBS news partly to talk about Donald Trump, state of the Union address from the night before, and partly to talk about the wall, the wall Mike Pence is out there saying, do in trump's workforce say we gotta have this wall, and if Democrats basically don't give up everything in Cavan, Donald Trump, we're going to have another government shutdown at the end of next week. We've got what, seven, eight days now to come up with a deal or else mike pence assures us we're going to have another government shutdown any word at it, you know, pretty interestingly. He said, you know, the Democrats have to come together and they've got to work with the president and give him what he needs in order for the Democrats to avoid shutting down the government again. So we framed it as a democratic problem and smart guys, pure evil. But again, smart move when you're trying to avoid blame for something, but he wants us to believe that it's the Democrats that are doing this.
The Democrats are the ones shutting down the government. Again, federal workers, you're about to go even longer without paychecks, air traffic controllers, TSA agents, FBI agents, you guys are all about to not get paid, you know, national park employees, you probably just now starting to get all that garbage picked up from the month the government was shut down. Well, guess what? It's going to start piling up again and you still can't do your actual job. You know, hundreds of thousands of federal workers right now terrified over the thought of another government shutdown in here. Mike Pence is going on CBS basically threatening to do it unless Democrats completely give up their ambitions and cave to Donald Trump. Well, here's the thing that Mike Pence doesn't want to know. He knows it, but he doesn't want to know it, and that is that more than 60 percent of people in this country do not want the border wall.
