They need to get the government open. So many people missing paychecks, so many services not filled or at risk. I’m so frustrated.
I personally think the democrats should sign the 7 week CR at the end of the month to bring back on Monday 11/3. Americans on ACA will receive their increase notices on/about 11/1. That hike will create enough outrage. Dems can say the GOP agreed to negotiate ACA subsidies in the full year bill. Let Feds get back pay and another 2 checks before a thanksgiving. Returning 11/3 gives everyone 3 weeks to negotiate a deal. If the GOP refuse to extend subsidies (with added pressure from constituents) in the next CR of full year bill, then shut it down again.
the house has basically not been in session since July, meaning they haven't been working on an actual budget bill at all.
They cannot shut it down again, because regular budget bills cannot be filibustered. Perhaps Republicans would have to wait until next year for this.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Seriously, where is the off ramp here?

Anonymous wrote:So what were people paying for healchare before COVID? I don't think this makes sense. Why would a temporary subsidy make healthcare affordable, while the original ACA (AFFORDABLE care act) wasn't affordable? It doesn't make sense. It sounds like a handout to get people on government reliance.

Trump is golfing, holding fundraiser dinners, and sending tens of billions of dollars to another country.
Meanwhile, the ACA subsidies are expiring, rural hospitals are closing, grocery prices are increasing, and we can't access our own government services that we paid for.
NO KINGS.
