[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so, so tired of the strategic stupidity of the Democrats.  Why use all their political capital on an invisible win?  Why not insist on reopening USAID?  Or taking ICE off the streets?  Stupid!!![/quote]
A fight is a fight. They chose healthcare because that’s the issue the entire caucus is comfortable with and can get behind.

Let’s celebrate them building their opposition muscles. This will not be the last fight.

The fact that two Democrats have defected shows how much work still needs to be done with this party.[/quote]

They have picked a stupid hill to die on.

Why is their only solution to things to always throw more money at it?

Every single thing that is subsidized by the government gets more expensive. When it becomes unaffordable to average working people, then the Dem solution is to subsidize it more, causing it to get even more expensive and less affordable to even those making a good income.

It is the same with housing, higher education, even groceries. Why do Dems no understand this? We cannot just keep printing money out of thin air. Sure, we can tax rich people, but will eventually run out of that as well.

The only solution to getting any of these under control is to move to a more consumer driven model. We need to off-ramp the employer-centric model and cap what can be received in pre-tax benefits. There can and should be an underlying safety net for those who are truly disabled and cannot work, but everyone else needs to work and contribute. There will be pain but unfortunately there will need to be some in order for the insurance companies to be held accountable. The ACA has done little else except for massively pad the pockets of insurance companies.[/quote]
