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

[Fang]

The original 2010 ACA subsidies are still in place and are permanent, unless Congress acts. However, no one is proposing to remove the 2010 version. What is on the table is the temporary pandemic-era subsidy boosts from 2021. These are set to expire at the end of 2025.

• Democrats want to extend the pandemic-era subsidy boosts
• Republicans argue they were temporary relief and hide the true cost of the ACA

I have to say I agree with Republicans on this one. Extending the 2021 subsidies or making them permanent is admitting the 2010 ACA was a failure. Let the 2021 subsidies expire and re-evaluate who truly needs the help. For example, before 2021 people earning >400% of federal poverty level got no help. But with the 2021 subsidy this group does get help. There's no doubt this needs to be reevaluated and not blindly extended.

For reference, a family of 3 making under $103,280 qualified for help under the 2010 ACA act. With the 2021 version even if you make more than $103,280 for a family of 3 you are eligible. This is why the 2021 subsidy should be allowed to expire and reevaluated.

Hey konradv several Dimwinger’s in Congress have told America they are using the shutdown as “leverage”.

That proves they control the shutdown. They have no leverage if they don’t control the shutdown.

Are you saying Trump is a powerless cuck?!

There are 21m people on the ACA, that is a lot of voters.
Republicans can take those voters by keeping the $35b subsidy, paying for it with spending cuts like the DOGE savings, and
making other improvements, such as allowing people to buy ACA policies anywhere, such as Costco or Walmart as Rand Paul suggests, and making other improvements and renaming it Trumpcare. Otherwise there will be 21m people very angry at Republicans.

That increases the deficit. Haven't you been paying attention?

That could easily be done once the Democrats end their shutdown, but not until. That would be part of the new budget.

Just look at Discombobulated they've become since the loss is November of last year. They still haven't recovered...

Seems like you've got it all backwards. Here we are a year later and not only can the "winners" not govern, they can't even keep the government open.

His power in this comes in when there is a bill to sign, moron.

Get educated on the process.


So far on this one the process has been the Republicans in the House passing a clean CR per the rules, Chucky Schumer filibustering it in the Senate and holding America hostage, and Trump willing to sign the CR once Chucky gets over his temper tantrum.

HTH

I'm saying a CR isn't the place to push for new programs and more spending, simp.


Summary

The program activities of most federal agencies are generally funded on an annual basis through the enactment of regular appropriations acts. When those annual appropriations acts are not enacted by the beginning of the fiscal year (October 1), one or more continuing appropriations acts (commonly known as continuing resolutions or CRs) may be enacted to provide temporary funding to continue certain programs and activities until action on the regular appropriations acts is completed.

There are six main features of CRs.

First, CRs have provided funding for certain activities (coverage), which are typically specified with reference to the prior fiscal year's appropriations acts.

Second, CRs provide budget authority for a specified duration of time. This duration may be as short as a single day or as long as the remainder of the fiscal year.

Third, in recent practice, CRs have typically provided funds based on an overall funding rate rather than in specified amounts.

Fourth, the use of budget authority provided in the CR has been prohibited for new activities not funded in the previous fiscal year.

Fifth, the duration and amount of funds in the CR, and purposes for which they may be used for specified activities, may be adjusted through anomalies.

Sixth, legislative provisions—which create, amend, or extend other laws—have been included in some instances.

Because you know it's true. If Schumer had not filibustered the bill, the government would not be shutdown. Do you deny that?

Is that your "logic"? Holy shit that made me laugh.

It’s all on Trump and you know it or you wouldn’t be posting this foolishness, given that he’s already admitted it’s his fault.

He is a cuck, but with to much power. Better?

Hurting the American people is the only option your party has.

Pass the CR.

Trump’s responsibility.

Trump’s responsibility.

Get the CR to His desk so He can exercise His responsibility and sign it.

How do Dimwingers have leverage if they don’t control the shutdown, Simp.

You have no answer.

Lies.
