C.H.I.P., Dreamers, and keeping the government open: The right priorities for our Government

As previous posts have conveyed, the priorities of this government are perplexing.  A tax cut where 83 percent of the long-term benefits goes to the wealthiest one percent is given priority before attending to the needs of vulnerable children either on C.H.I.P. (Children's Health Insurance Program) or the DREAMER population. It is even a higher priority than making sure the government operates past December 22. What pathetic logic is this that the leaders of the Right cater to the affluent over the downtrodden. Shame on them and shame on us if we do not do anything about it like championing a national progressive program that will overtake this alt right disease.
