Democrats can’t keep the 'Schumer Shutdown' going much longer

[hadit]

The art of the deal!

Negotiate,

instead of giving democrat request for ALL of the expanded ACA recipients continuing to get tax credits make it 75% of them will ONLY, starting in 2027, but the very top 25% of highest earners won't, and in 2 years drop another 25% of those highest earners...giving them time to plan and research the avenues that they can best financially support...

And gives insurance companies time to adjust as well....make it less chaotic....

is just 1 example....for one of the differences between them...

That sounds like something Schumer could easily propose to the majority party in the Senate to get things moving again.

Republicans have very clearly stated that they’re completely uninterested in any negotiations.

As President, Trump could make the negotiation happen... That's his part, that I know he can do!

Republicans in Congress believe they need Trump's approval, to negotiate...or all hell on them, will break out....they've been chicken shits for some time now, and need permission from Trump in their minds to do any negotiating.

CRs aren't for negotiating new spending, Stupid.

CRs fund programs already negotiated and voted on.

Yep.

CRs aren't for new spending.

Next?

23 Oct 2025 ~~ By Liz Peek

The government shutdown will end soon. How do I know? Because whatever political advantage Democrats had a few weeks ago by “standing strong!” and “confronting Trump!” is quickly evaporating. When the polls flip, so will the party that has lost its way.
Voters have a way of sniffing out the truth. They are beginning to understand that Democrats are rudderless, and are voting to keep the government closed out of confusion, not conviction.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and their colleagues claim they desperately want Obamacare premium subsidies extended, but they have not been holding talks with Republicans, the majority party, to make that happen. They have no proposal on the table that would incorporate a subsidy extension into next year’s budget.
They have, in short, no plan.
~Snip~
What went wrong? Obamacare was flawed from the start. The idea was that, if everyone who didn’t have insurance was forced to buy into the government-provided program, the risk pool would be broad and costs low. But it turned out that it is not constitutional to require citizens to buy a commercial product. The so-called individual mandate was therefore dropped, and a great many healthy young people failed to sign up.
The result was an older, sicker pool and higher coverage costs. Some insurance companies dropped out as mandates to cover pre-existing conditions and other requirements made the program unprofitable.
Promised changes, such as tort reform and allowing insurers to compete across state lines, never materialized. And problems with America’s health care system — like too few people having “skin in the game” — have persisted. In fact, the Obamacare subsidies make that issue worse, by cutting the required contribution percentages across the board, thereby reducing enrollees’ out-of-pocket costs.
The real costs of Obamacare insurance have been masked by escalating subsidies, which were inflated during the pandemic but are set to expire at the end of this year. Democrats want those subsidies extended, even though the expected cost is nearly half a trillion dollars over the coming decade — and even though much of the benefit would go to higher-income Americans.


Commentary:
Remember that San Fran Nan told us not to bother reading the 1,000 page plus Obamacare Bill until it was passed...
It was a horribly ineffective system for health care. Created by and for a corruption machine siphoning money from taxpayers into a bloated lobby and Healthcare bureaucracy.
For Democrats and their DSA fellow travelers, it's their way or no way. It's an infantile entitled mindset. Of course, they are mentally stunted. Of, they may be smart, but far from wise.
It more that apparent that Hakeem Jeffries is out of his element.
Democrats have lost their way a long time ago. Remember: it's the party of the "Trail of Tears" (1830), "slavery" (abolished by Republicans in 1864), the 'Ku Klux Klan' (still going on?), and Obamacare!

The Schumer Shutdown will continue into late November, the democrat Party just doesn't give a **** about how much they hurt Americans

 

[beagle9]

More people blame Trump than democrats.

And how stupid is that if true ?

Government doesn't give a crap how Americans suffer through these failures of government. If it did then we would be living in the best operated country in the world by now.

The two party system of government has become the culprit in our demise. Until that gets fixed the back and forth will continue to our disadvantages in life.

Nope. Never give in to extortion. Trump needs to tell Thune to go nuclear to keep the Trump agenda moving forward.

Trumpcare could be making the $35b subsidy permanent, and pay for it with DOGE savings. Also make other improvements, such as Rand Paul suggests letting people buy across state lines from Costco or Walmart.

 

[konradv]

So what can Trump do to end the shutdown?

Tell Johnson to end it.

 

[konradv]

What changes or modifications are the Republicans proposing? Trump’s words can only bite him so much if the Republicans are proposing a clean resolution that Democrats have signed off previously and the Republicans are not proposing changes.

If the Republicans had their own demands and modifications, your video would be more relevant.

Trump never said that.

 

[konradv]

Yeah, guess what, citizen TRUMP! was wrong. Of course, you can believe he was right and champion his statement if you like.

DJT was wrong?! Turncoat!

 

[kyzr]

Tell Johnson to end it.

Johnson has nothing to do with the shutdown, the House passed the CR,

Senate democrats won't let Thune get the 60 votes he needs to pass the CR, so Thune needs to go nuclear.

 

[konradv]

~~~~~~>
The way that Obamacare was constructed also allowed for too many ways to file forged and bogus claims by the providers.

Why wasn’t it replaced, as promised?

 

[LeftofLeft]

Trump never said that.

Trump never said what?

 

[Delldude]

The Trump shutdown continues unabated.

Federal workers’ union calls on Democrats to pass GOP funding bill​

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Tell Johnson to end it.

The Speaker has no vote in the Senate, moron.

 

[Nostra]

Tell Johnson to end it.

Huh? Johnson and House Republicans already passed a CR funding the government, you blithering moron.

 

[konradv]

Trump never said what?

Don’t have time for your silly games.
