So you shut the Govt down, just to get some people blame trump for it?
That seem rather silly.
That is directly from your post. Getting the republicans on record voting against healthcare cost savings will allow them to hang all the price increases on the GOP for the midterms. LOL Dead Man Walking.
You mean, not extending the subs to big pharm that the dems set to expire on 12/31?

Trump finds himself in the same predicament Biden was in last year. Biden SWORE the economy was good even though inflation was high. And it was a good economy. Better than this one. Better job opportunities. More job opportunities.
Under Biden people job hopped. Under Trump people are job hugging.

One man's traitor is another's logical thinker!!
The Schumer Hostage Shutdown, which has lasted over 40 days, resulted in significant frustration among Democrats, particularly progressives, who felt that the party made insufficient concessions on health care tax credits. Ultimately, it has exposed divisions within the Democratic Party and led to calls for leadership changes, while also highlighting the ongoing impact of the shutdown on federal employees and services.

Democrats Cave on Government Funding, Will Receive Nothing for Ending Schumer Shutdown
A disastrous shutdown for Democrats got worse Sunday when Senate Democrats folded on government funding while receiving nothing in return.www.breitbart.com
A disastrous shutdown for Democrats got worse Sunday when Senate Democrats folded on government funding while receiving nothing of substance in return.
Eight Senate Democrats voted with 42 Republicans Sunday night on a procedural vote to allow a continuing resolution (CR) funding the government to advance.
The motion passed 60 to 40, without a single vote to spare, and will enable a future vote on a clean continuing resolution through January 30, 2026, packaged with three relatively non-controversial appropriations bills extending through the fiscal year: agriculture, military construction-Veterans Affairs, and legislative branch.
The agreement includes back pay for federal employees and guarantees that the 4,000-plus federal employees laid off during the shutdown will be rehired, as well as a blanket prohibition on future reductions in force through January 30. Those jobs are a drop in the bucket compared to the 250,000 or so the Trump administration eliminated before the shutdown.
Most significantly, the agreement does not guarantee an extension of Covid-era enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies, with Democrats only receiving assurances of a vote on a bill of their choice.
“As I have said for weeks to my Democrat friends, I will schedule a vote on their proposal, and I have committed to having that vote no later than the second week in December,” Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said on the Senate floor before the vote.
~Snip~
In a sign of how toxic the shutdown end will be for Democrats, no Democrat senators who voted Sunday to begin the process of reopening the government are up for reelection in 2026.
~Snip~
The Senate must receive unanimous consent on time agreements to enable speedy passage, but a vote on final passage is likely by the middle of the week. The amended bill must then pass the House.
Commentary:
Sounds like DJT is causing them to grow a bit of a spine. At least he is showing them what a spine looks like.
Great headline and generally good news:
BUT......."The agreement includes back pay for federal employees and guarantees that the 4,000-plus federal employees laid off during the shutdown will be rehired, as well as a blanket prohibition on future reductions in force through January 30. "
Those fed workers who did not work should not be getting.
Next on the list of "To Do" items, a new bill must go through congress that states NO PAY FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS anytime they shut down the government. It could be a one page bill, no big committee needed to write that, no carve outs.....just plain NO WORK,
How else would people get insurance? Can you get insurance from someone that isnt an insurance company? Are you suggesting government socialism? Not sure what the hell you are talking about.

This is so incredibly stupid. Just so dumb. And the politicians feeding you this idiotic talking point KNOW it is dumb. They just think you are dumb enough to believe it.
Hey geniuses... when we give people money to buy insurance, where does that money go?
Take all the time you need.

Useless Paul strikes again the grandstanding waste of a Senate seat.
Rand Paul, Liberturdian scumbag extraordinaire, voted against it. The only Republican to do so. Of course. Liberturdians are scumbags. Gutless scumbags.
