It's 1 773rd of the total budget. Do the math.
If it's 1 1000th of the budget then it's 0.1%, not 0.01%. Like I said, you're off by an order of magnitude.

It's not racist, no matter how butt-hurt you are over it.
Google "racism definition" and you get this:
There has been no implication that whites are superior to native Americans. In fact, Warren isn't even "of a different race", since she is fucking white. Calling her Pocahontas or Fauxcohontas isn't racist, it's just making fun of a lying scumbag politician - it is not at all directed at native Americans or meant to demean or disrespect them. Unless, of course, a liberal gets triggered and then everything is racist.

Exactly, and it has nothing to do with tax rates. Better to get a refund than back taxes, but ideally you should aim for 0b) A refund is not a good thing. It simply means that you gave the government an interest-free loan. You're better off reducing your deductions and aiming for no refund and nothing owed.
As Lev rightly pointed out, this doesn’t mean a whole lot. If you pay less taxes you get less refundSince it's tax season, let's check in on that new tax law that's going to put so much money in my pocket.

Woops.
In my case my refund was about 10% less but the increase in my paycheck offset the difference by a 100% (over the year). It’s actually even more when factoring in that my wife makes similar money so she got a similar increase in take home pay.I was honest with you guys about how the tax cuts affected my paycheck and I'll be honest about my refund when I get it. I honestly don't know how it will be affected but in the past I've gotten pretty significant refunds (again, not a good thing).
Negotiations to stop another government shutdown have stalled, as lawmakers remain at an impasse over border security. If an agreement on funding the government isn't reached by Friday at midnight, the government could partially shut down again, just three weeks after the longest U.S. government shutdown in history.
Republican Sen. Richard Shelby, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee told Fox News Sunday he put the odds of a deal at 50-50. "I think the next 24 hours are crucial. We could close some deals, but they've got to be good, to secure our borders," Shelby said.
A Democratic congressional aide tells NPR talks have broken down over how many detention beds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be funded through the agreement. Democrats want to limit the number of beds to force the Trump administration to prioritize arresting and deporting serious criminals, not law-abiding immigrants.
President Trump has asked for $5.7 billion to fund a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico. On Sunday Trump tweeted that Democrats "are offering very little money for the desperately needed Border Wall & now, out of the blue, want a cap on convicted violent felons to be held in detention!"
I don’t think the Dems on the Border Committee are being allowed by their leaders to make a deal. They are offering very little money for the desperately needed Border Wall & now, out of the blue, want a cap on convicted violent felons to be held in detention!

According to The New York Times, "While Democrats refused to entertain the prospect of fulfilling Mr. Trump's $5.7 billion demand for a border wall, lawmakers had grown closer to accepting a number between $1.3 billion and $2 billion for physical barriers. But they also demanded the limit on ICE beds, as a way to force the agency to focus on detaining migrants with criminal records instead of people who have overstayed their visas."
Politico reports, "Lawmakers are discussing the possibility of a year-long continuing resolution bill but so far discussions have not led to a proposal that both House Democrats and Senate Republicans could get on board with."
Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told NBC's Meet the Press that negotiations are "all over the map because of the Democrats" and that "the White House, at the request of all the parties on the Hill, have sort of stepped back. We're still participating, we're still listening, we're still talking, but we're not leading the negotiations."
When asked about funding for a border wall, Mulvaney said he "absolutely cannot" rule out another government shutdown. He added the "most likely outcome" is that Congress will reach a border security agreement Trump will sign.
