Government Shutdown or Strike (Maybe Lockout?)

I guess it’s time for me to add my two cents on this partial government shut down. First, this is in no way partisan and is totally fair. I don’t care about the Trump wall, or as in reality the new fencing. I do think that there is a compromise to be made. The Democrats could agree to his 5.7 billion dollars in funding, but they could also ask for 5 more billion to go towards a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients, infrastructure, immigration reform, campaign reform, and the humanitarian needs at our boarder. No, I don’t think that real conservatives would go for that option, because it would become a deficit issue. Then we could go back to the table and offer 3 billion to the boarder, and 2 billion towards my previous request.  In real life negotiations that’s how these things work. What we have here is a political game of chess, where government workers are being used as pawns and that disgust me! Of course Trump won’t open the government without his requested wall funding. Th
