Oh, we absolutely did learn this...Which is why this latest tantrum is so ridiculous. This was a simply CR with NO add ins, simply to keep government open for 7 weeks while they conduct the appropriations process.
It’s what the people want. They won’t tolerate health costs going even higher.
Democrats are turning themselves into the enemies of democracy
Democrats are talking themselves into forcing a government shutdown. But they can’t seem to agree on why.www.yahoo.com
The problem for Schumer’s message, however, is that holding out for more Medicaid spending is the opposite of standing up for democracy. Rather than shutting down the government over unilateral executive actions, or presidential refusals to spend money authorised by Congress, Schumer is trying to undo the biggest thing passed by a Republican Congress. He’s trying to use leverage to win a victory he didn’t have the votes to get. It completely contradicts the Democrats’ theme that they’re the ones standing up for Congress and representative government.

Schumer can speak all he wants, but money talks. So long as his key demand is for more Medicaid money, voters are apt to see through all his slogans about democracy.
Comment: This is another highlight of exactly why not only Democrats lost in the last election, but why they will continue to lose....They have forsaken American citizens in favor of Foreigners that entered our country illegally. Not only that, but they don't have a solid leadership voice....Their senior members are going off in all directions with no clear message, other than Trump triggers them....]]
IMHO, we have the clearest path this coming midterm to gain a super majority and silence them completely....My God, can you imagine? They lose their damned minds....
Lost because Trump lied and the majority believed him. Is Ukraine over? Are grocery prices down? Where are the jobs?
Thanks for that link, my AI google was more confused than I was.Thank you. I found the source of the 114% increase (link below).
The screen shot wasn't clear and I assumed that it was monthly premiums. Actually the 888 / 1906 numbers were annual. My bad. WW

No problem at all, they can have all the insurance they're willing to pay for out of their own pockets...dumbass.
That's what I just stated...........They have no other choice, DUMB ASS.
Of course I want illegal aliens to have insurance.
Gee, lots to unpack in the thread. First things first, the line about forsaking Americans in favor of foreigners is a lie the OP keeps repeating even though it's been debunked. It's so egregiously wrong it's not worth debunking again.Democrats are turning themselves into the enemies of democracy

Republicans can’t pass a continuing resolution without the votes for Dems.
It isn't like I don't understand why you folks keep accusing Dem's of being authoritarian given the direction Dotard is taking the country. But how is the shutdown going to be resolved if there is no negotiation?
So angry.
"Inconvenient"?
