Wow great idea, I'll take it one set further! What if after the shutdown ends we create some sort of system where wealthier individuals consistently contribute some of their money for government programs to allow us to fund all sorts of things. Golly gosh just imagine
JUST IN: President Trump says a "very wealthy gentleman" offered to pay U.S. troops' salaries if funding ran out during the government shutdown.
Reporter: "You have the money to pay the troops...?"
Trump: "I do... I actually have a man who is a very wealthy person... A donor, a great gentleman, and he said, 'If there's any money necessary, shortfall, for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it,' meaning he will pay it."
