America is in crisis. What will it take for the President to reopen the government? Will it take families across America to not get their tax return? Will it take Federal employees going without a second paycheck or without healthcare? Will it take millions of families who are going hungry without SNAP, without food assistance? Maybe it will take Customs and Border Patrol walking off the job or uninspected planes falling from the sky due to mechanical failure--or worse. I have here a letter from Doug Lowe, one of my constituents, who is an aviation specialist, and he talks about how these planes aren't even being inspected right now. Or, even worse, for all the President's bragging about the economy, we could be going into a recession in what would otherwise be a boom period. So I ask again: President Trump, what will it take? What disaster will it take for you to reopen this government now? ____________________
