Democrats name their price on ending government shutdown

[OKTexas]

Your lie exists. You made a claim, but Republicans were in Congress when the date was set. Furthermore, this shutdown is because of Repubicans. Why would they want to end a subsidy that helps people get health care? But they don't mind giving subsidies to the rich after the rich have made record profits. So you're a liar, plain, and simple.

Everything I said was accurate. Any you can't prove otherwise, because the facts won't support your lie. The dems passed the extended subsidies and set the date for its expiration, on a party line vote, using reconciliation in 2023. Kneepads was the tie breaking vote.

Like I said, you lied. If there was a tie-breaking vote, it means Repubicans voted. And what kind of people vote against a subsidy that helps people get healthcare? Scum is the answer. I noticed you made a racist reference to the former VP. You can't help yourself, you sorry pos.

They voted against the almost 2 trillion in pork in that bill, all of it borrowed. No republicans voted for it because they aren't stupid. Dems set the date and are now crying like the little bitches they are, because the republicans won't yield their extortion.

It's almost as though the Republicans don't want anything passed and want lower income earners punished.

Almost.

Define “lower income earners ”

Democrats name their price on ending government shutdown​

https://www.axios.com/2025/11/07/senate-democrats-proposal-end-government-shutdown

7 Nov 2025 ~~ By Stephen Neukam & Stef W. Kight

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Friday that Democrats would vote to end the government shutdown in exchange for a one-year extension of expiring ACA tax credits, multiple sources told Axios.

Commentary:
So basically, the compromise is the socialists get what they want, the republicans get bupkis. They want one year because they think they win congress back in a year where they can then ram it through and control a second shutdown.
It's a distinction without a difference. This is STILL trying to put the camel’s nose into the tent, and with the resulting dislocations later on. The place for these spending measures is in a full and real appropriations bill, not a continuing resolution.
Kicking the can down the road only further damages the can. Besides, we are running out of road.
Senator John Kennedy has the right idea.
The Senate should not be paid their monthly salaries until they vote .
If Democrats are willing to stop the government allow the military, air controller and SNAP recipients to go without, then they should also go without the salaries until they sit down and negotiate and leave hostage taking to terrorists.

Schumer can go F himself.

a program that benefits millions of Americans.

At the expense of other Americans.

You know, the ones who were supposed to see their health care costs reduced by 2500 a year, but instead are now paying for others. Those Americans.

But let’s be clear: the GOP could end this tomorrow by agreeing to fund the ACA for one year. They won’t. Why not?

And the democrats could end this tomorrow by simple dropping the funding for ACA. They won't. Why not?

 

[HikerGuy83]

But the only reason this fight exists is because the GOP stuck it to the people and Democrats are trying to blunt the damage. That’s what a responsible opposition does.

The democrats stuck it to the people when they passed Obummercare. They put the expiration date on the subsidies.

And all of sudden, they want to keep borrowing more to run up higher deficits than before?

Go screw yourself.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Now I say, do it. Let's see what happens and when 20 million people lose their coverage

Looking forward to it.

 

[HikerGuy83]

What Republicans seem to want is the Democrats to simply give them what they want in exchange for counting on their goodwill for negotiating on extending ACA tax credits but you know.

Now, this is funny......let the GOP extend them until they win back the house. Then see what happens.

You really think we are as stupid as you are.

Calling her Kneepads isn’t racist. She WAS a slut, and used that to advance in her career.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5595545-schumer-plan-government-shutdown/On top of the one-year extension,

Schumer’s offer also called for short-term funding bill known as a continuing resolution (CR) and the attachment of a three-bill minibus of full-year spending bills that were a part of previous bipartisan talks.

No, not bupkis but a CR and a working and funded government for a year.

What Republicans seem to want is the Democrats to simply give them what they want in exchange for counting on their goodwill for negotiating on extending ACA tax credits but you know... without any negotiating power. Because everybody knows the GOP under Trump doesn't strongarm.

Now I say, do it. Let's see what happens and when 20 million people lose their coverage and don't get health insurance anymore let the GOP own it. In fact, that would be my condition. End the shutdown in exchange for the GOP taking full responsibility for what happens to ACA.

They’re not losing their coverage. Their premiums will not be paid by other taxpayers, so their costs will go up. The fact that they will skyrocket shows what a disaster Obama unleashed in this country.

Almost.

No, we don’t want our tax dollars going to benefit 20 million illegals - thereby incentivizing more of them to swarm in.

The Democrats would not have created this shutdown if we had a Free and Independent Media. Instead we have a Democrat controlled Gaslighting Machine that runs 24/7.

There is a huge African American middle class. I propose an extra 25% federal income tax on them to help to African Americans without health care. In earnest they will be giving back to the community.

 

[Muhammed]

What are Republicans proposing? A two month continuing resolution.

Cmon. Don’t lose perspective.

Now the Dems want ACA subsidies, and if you cave, two months from know they'll shut the government down again and make more demands.

**** them. Shut it down until after the mid-terms when the Republicans gain a supermajority.

I think that’s a good idea. We could extend it even further.

For example, I’m sure that many of those 750,000 Muslims in NYC are poor, have immigrated from 3rd world and many unable to afford Obamacare unless other people subsidize it. So….middle-class Muslims in NYC should be taxed 25% more to pay for them, and millionaire Muslims should be taxed 35%. We can start with Imandami’s rich daddy.

 

[mudwhistle]

Republicans are the cause of this.

No, dipshit.
Democrats caused everything, including voting no on keeping the government open and creating the Affordable Care Act which they've been using to take care of their illegal slaves/voters.

IM2 thinks the truth is racist.

Why do you bother with her?

I put her on ignore a long time ago.

If there is a post from her, I know it's both racist and race-baiting.

It all reads the same.

I just don't like being reminded what a failure our education system is.
