[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just need six Democrat senators to do the right thing so I can get my paycheck.  Looking at you Mr. Van Hollen.  [/quote]

So dense

Never a look at Thune?

I guess you are right. They don't think about you at all[/quote]

Narrators voice:  “Leader Thune has brought a clean CR to the floor 14 times for a vote.”[/quote]This shutdown is about the ACA subsidies. I get that you in your secure fed med plan dgaf about the under insured. Thankfully, other feds care and the Democrats care.

This admin could find money to pay the Snap benefits if they wanted to. They've been very creative using their powers when they care. A Dem president would find the funds, shutdown or not.[/quote]

The “subsidies” were only ever intended to be temporary to get through COVID.  That’s why the DEMCRATS capped the subsidies at 5 years.  ACA was never intended to be Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP.  It was never intended to be another entitlement program.  The country is $38 trillion in debt because of these programs.  [/quote]

No the country is $38 trillion in debt because republicans repeatedly cut taxes but don’t cut spending by an equivalent amount to match the lost revenues. [/quote]

The Republicans are trying to cut spending.  But since they don’t have 60 votes in the Senate they cannot pass individual appropriations bills so we’re stuck with the FY24 Biden budget. Which, ironically, the Senate Democrats have now voted 14 times against. [/quote]

It’s no longer the FY24 Biden budget. That budget funded USAID, foreign assistance, the education department, infrastructure projects, disaster assistance and numerous other things than Trump has cut.  If Rs want to continue whatever remains of that budget,  they can change the filibuster and do it with 51 votes. [/quote]

If Republicans won’t stand up for bipartisan spending priorities why do the expect democrats to do it for them. You break it, you buy it. [/quote]
