My modest proposal for Speaker Pelosi
1) Separate the border security part from the continuing resolution and send a clean CR to the Senate to pay for the end of the year. Keep passing it every day until signed into law or passed over veto.
2) Pass the $ 1.3 Billion for additional border security measures with zero for additional wall structure. Dare him to veto it.
3) No meetings or staged shows at the White House. Instead (because Trump really just wants to be on TV) invite Trump to testify at the House DHS Committee to make his case about the wall and answer questions on the wall DACA, TPS, Asylum Policy including Family Separation and Return of Vietnamese Refugees.
4) Propose a one time, take it or leave it offer, to approve funding of the wall up to $ 10 Billion on the non negotiable condition that the 2017 tax reductions on corporations and the wealthiest 20% be reversed at a rate of $ 100 Billion revenue exchanged in reverse tax rates for every $ 1 Billion allocated for the wall.
You want $ 5 Billion on a useless wall then raise $ 500 Billion that is stipulated for health care, education and food stamps for the working poor.
Of course he won't agree to any of it but it will frame the issue a to show that. He isn't really committed to the issue beyond a PR scam.
Most importantly don't give him any WH meetings that he will use for more dishonest PR framing, just keep sending proposals that under cut his BS.
