So let's do both. Let's lift the spending caps
equally for defense and these urgent domestic priorities. Our two parties can reach a deal like that, just as we can reach a
deal to pass a disaster aid package that treats all States and
territories fairly; just as we can have an agreement on a healthcare
package that acknowledges the new realities of the healthcare markets,
which were disrupted by Republicans when they repealed the mandate in
the tax bill last year; and just as we can reach a deal on DACA--
protecting young people who were brought here as kids through no fault
of their own--while at the same time making reasonable, appropriate,
and smart investments in border security--something that in the past
both Democrats and Republicans have supported. In conclusion, an agreement can be reached on all these issues. Nobody wants a shutdown.
