Yesterday The Washington Examiner<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

C<\/span>oncerned about U.S. Coast Guard forces losing a paycheck in the partial government shutdown, President Trump personally urged his team to find a solution that would allow the administration to make this week\u2019s $75 million payroll, according to officials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump stepped in on Wednesday, calling on top lawyers and staffers to determine if the Coast Guard could make payroll despite being included in the shutdown that has impacted about 25 percent of the government, including the Department of Homeland Security, which houses the Coast Guard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Military personnel under the Department of Defense are not included in the shutdown, because their appropriations were approved earlier in Congress.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Officials said that Trump was keen to find a \u201cway we can fix this\u201d as news media stories about the Coast Guardsmen’s plight started to pile up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At his urging, the Office of Management and Budget, DHS and the Coast Guard determined that the rules governing pay to Coast Guard forces requires it be made through the end of the year. To make it, the lawyers said that unused funding could be tapped for pay. The service had a bit more than the needed $75 million left over from its past continuing resolution appropriation, enough to make this month\u2019s last payroll check.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe president is trying to make the shutdown as painless as possible for workers, and this case proved it,\u201d said an official.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember that only 1\/4 of the government is shut down because President Trump had the forethought to get the rest of the budget passed previously. The Democrats (who in the past voted for a fence (a.k.a. wall) have changed their minds and shut down the government because President Trump wants a wall. At least President Trump is attempting to make the shutdown as painless as possible while Representative Nancy Pelosi (who should be in Washington negotiating) vacations in Hawaii.<\/p>\n
