As the government shutdown goes into week two, many are wondering what it will take to put an end to it. President Donald Trump has stood strong on his claim that he will not sign any spending bill that does not include the $5 billion he has demanded to build a wall along the U. S.-Mexico border, however Democrats have made it clear they will not give in to his request.
Solutions have been suggested by countless officials over the last few weeks regarding the partial government shutdown. And now, as the Hill reports, North Carolina Representative Walter Jones has offered his own solution — that President Trump should tap into his own personal funds to help pay for the border wall.
In a statement released on Friday, December 28, Congressman Walter Jones called for a “fiscally responsible wall funding plan,” so as not to add to the country’s already crippling national debt of $22 trillion.
