    CHIP funding did not run out in October. Who created your calendar, Bernie, or Elizabeth?

    January 5, 2018

    Some states are facing a mid-January loss of funding for their Children's Health Insurance Program despite spending approved by Congress in late December that was expected to keep the program running for three months, federal health officials said Friday.

    The $2.85 billion was supposed to fund states' CHIP programs through March 31. But some states will start running out of money after Jan. 19, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. CMS did not say which states are likely to be affected first.
    What was that about letting kids die?

    You don't actually believe that nonsense do you?

    Here's a pic of Don hard at work the WH released. No papers on his desk, not speaking to anyone. Hadn't had his hair done hence the hat. Staring at nothing, wishing he could be in FL with his peeps counting the money he made from a garish celebration of his achievements.........a budget busting tax cut and a government shutdown.

    It's not nonsense, it's fact.

    I certainly don't believe the nonsense the alt-left creates for it's followers.

    Your story about this picture is proof there are some who do believe such nonsense.

    I don't care if they boot every one of them out of the country. It's the job of Mexican politicians to fund Mexicans.

    But please, continue to withhold funding from US citizens over a non-budget issue of your pet illegals.

    that is why it's so important to handle this now, the alt-right hates the dreamers and will not lift a finger to protect them unless forced too

    if republicans refuse to re-open the government via a daca deal, that is all on them

    Good.

    Let's keep it shut down then until the federal government agrees that they should spend money on Mexicans instead of Americans.

    Trump was the one that put the dollar amount on the the table, and Schumer would of allowed it, but trump changed his mind again
    Trump is easily manipulated by the last person or even the last tv show he sees

    Awesome.

    The longer we keep it shut down, the more democrats can tell us why paying for Mexican citizens is so important that we have to stop funding US citizens.

    Yes they bless us with the $100 billion we spend taking care of them.

    An honor and a blessing, truly.

    Their heroin rings and human trafficking blesses us with diversity.

    No, they're Mexicans, in fact and reality.

    They're only Americans in your feelings.

    90% of America supports protecting the dreamers
    posts like yours shows why this needs to be done now, as the alt-right never plans to do it unless forced
