Democrats prioritize healthcare benefits for illegals over paying military and air traffic controllers.

Pot/Kettle.


Even your source, FOX News, acknowledges the reality.

Senate Democrats want an extension to expiring Obamacare subsidies, which were enhanced when Senate Democrats controlled the upper chamber under President Joe Biden and are set to expire by the end of this year.

Schumer accused congressional Republicans of being unwilling to solve the problem, despite overtures from Senate Republicans that they'd be open to have a vote on the matter.

"What kind of country do we live in? What kind of party is this Republican Party that is unwilling to solve this problem, which is staring Americans in the face, frightening Americans from one end of the country to the other," Schumer said. "And yet Republicans, what are they doing about it? Nothing. They're on vacation. It's unacceptable and morally repugnant."


Look, I know this issue very well. And I got to be honest, maybe it is time to let them additional subsidies go. On paper, yes, it looks catastrophic, but in reality, consumers will adapt and substitute. And yes, it will have a cost impact to them from the first dollar. I think the real problem is the Medicaid cuts. That is going to have a very real, and significant impact, on state budgets. That was the whole Thom Tillis thing. Give him a hat tip.

The reality, the Republican party, especially in the House, are a bunch of misfits, clowns, fools, forgive the honesty. They didn't play well back in preschool, they sure as hell don't play well now. I mean it is a hot mess. I mean Santos? How the **** does that happen?

No, the mid-terms need to be a purge, of all the Trump ass-lickers. There should be no other target, no other talking point. Neuter his ass. Flip the House and the Senate, veto proof majorities. I mean I hate to say it, but, "Lock him up". I think MTG is smelling the coffee. She is about to go Georgia Redneck on Trumps ass.
 
Democrats have chosen the hill they want to die on. Healthcare benefits for the people they value the most, illegal immigrants. It is not only a slap in the face to American citizens, by denying pay to Air Traffic Controllers they are endangering anyone who flies. The Democrats are the anti-American Party.

Look, I just got to say, the whole healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants is a load of horseshit. First, and I have no problem documenting it, just use a little AI. Spending on illegal immigrants amounts to one percent, ONE ******* PERCENT, of Medicaid spending. You seriously believe that is what this is about? How big of a fool do you want to appear?
 
Hopefully the govt. is shut down until the midterms. I am confident the country will go from Liberal Fatigue to Liberal Exhaustion and after the midterms the GOP will have more than 60 seats and can pass whatever budget they want.

If that's what Democrats really want then fight for it to be included in whatever appropriations bills are passed. It has no reason to be included in a CR to keep the government open temporarily while the long term financial issues are hammered out.
 
You mean Democrats prioritize the 24.8 million, depending on the Affordable Care act for health insurance, all year long, over the 2.1 million service members including the 776,000 NG/Reservists (that mostly have civilian full-time jobs) who will be paid, after the shutdown ends and largely protected from loss, eviction, repossession by the Soldiers and Sailers Relief Act?
No matter how you put it, Dems are stupid.
 
This shutdown is really stupid and dangerous but everything Democrats do these days seems to be that way. It's hard to believe they still refuse to open government up.
 
That is such a tired canard. Taxes are stolen money, too funny. No, taxes are the price you pay to work. They are completely optional, don't want to pay them, don't work. The price is posted, you know in advance. There are no secrets, no tricks, no deceit.

And evidently, well from what you Republicans say, one can live pretty well without working. Health care paid for, food paid for, rent paid for, hell, probably even get a free cell phone. I mean even worse case scenario, you will have indoor plumbing and probably air conditioning, maybe even cable TV. You used to be able to get the internet for free, I think that program expired.

The point is, you can't ***** about paying taxes. You choose to do so. And yes, taxes really are, for the most part, voluntary. My oldest son makes real bank. But he is tighter than a drum and he hates to pay taxes. 401K, contributes the maximum allowable every year. Roth, contributes the maximum, every year. HSA, same thing, maximum. If he can stash a dollar somewhere, and not pay taxes on it, he is there.
I have no issue with my taxes paying for the Federal Government mandated by the Constitution.
 
Not exactly truthful, there.
No, Ron Johnson did not block the bill to pay the troops; rather, he proposed a bill aimed at compensating federal employees and military personnel during the ongoing government shutdown. However, the bill was blocked by Senate Democrats, who deemed it overly selective and incomplete.

I take no position on this being for right or wrong, simply pointing out the error of your statement. Johnson, did not block the bill that was voted on, to pay the troops.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) objected to a request by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) on Thursday for the Senate to immediately consider and pass a bill to pay all federal workers, members of the military and federal contractors during the 2025 government shutdown.


Democrats block bill to pay military, essential workers during shutdown​


Like I said they're cut from the same cloth.
 
why wont the leaders in your party vote for the CR and give the Senate time to hash things out .. answer that simple question ..
Last I heard, there were no independents in the Senate. All were either Rep or Dem. You should ask somebody that is a party person.

Yes. They spit on the military
 
15th post
Yes. They spit on the military
Who? Did somebody spit on you, while in Uniform? Nobody spit on me. Heck, my Marine brother came back from Vietnam through San Diego and nobody spit on him spit on him, either, though we heard hippies out there actually did that kind of thing, back then. I suspect you heard wrong or are possibly lying.
