Nuke the filibuster for shutdowns?

the ACA with subsidies paid for by the DOGE savings and tariff revenue.
Why does the affordable care act need subsidies?

To be affordable. Throwing 44m people off healthcare insurance only sinks Medicaid

Then fix SS & Medicare.
How?

Raise or remove the cap will fix SS
Medicare needs :

 

[CrusaderFrank]

It has to end sooner or later. When it does, it ought to be on terms that embarrass and frustrate the obstructionist Democratics.

The kids have to grow up sometime. Can’t keep rescuing them

Thune is afraid to use the nuclear option because he believes if Democrats get control of the Senate it will come back to bite the GOP.

It was a lie?

Why?

How? Show your math.

I TOTALLY agree! WATCH as Sen. John Fetterman calls on Republicans to “nuke”the filibuster... but only in cases of the government shutting down. That means it would no longer would require 60 votes to remain open. REPOST if you agree! #thinblueline #lawenforcement | 111 comments on LinkedIn

Does this Fetterman proposal make sense to you?

It does to me.

You are the attorney here.

What is preferable

"nuking the filibuster"

or

declaring Martial Law for 10 minutes, enough to sign an EO reopening with the CR intact

???

That is his excuse. What the stupid **** doesn't admit is that democrats will go nuclear if Thune does or not, a lose-lose RINO

Nuke the filibuster for shutdowns?​

Absolutely not.
When the tables turn, and they always do. The filibuster will be the only tool of restraint that the then minority will have.
Whether they will have the spines to use it is another question.

44m people are on the ACA today. QED

Throwing 44m people off healthcare insurance only sinks Medicaid. Why?

If millions of people have no health insurance, who pays for their medical expenses? Hint: they have no money

Raise or remove the cap will fix SS. How? Show your math.

1. Removing the cap would extend SS from 2034 to 2060.

Taxing the rich won't fix Social Security's insolvency issue — but it would go a long way

Social Security currently has nine years until its funds are depleted. In 2035, its projected income would only cover about 83% of scheduled benefits.

www.usatoday.com

"Some have argued that the government should eliminate the payroll tax cap without any accompanying benefit increase for the wealthy. This would buy Social Security more time. It might last as long as 2060 before its trust funds are depleted, per the Manhattan Institute. But, again, it's not enough."

2. Other ways to extend SS and Medicare are as follows
Phase-in the early retirement age from 63 to 65, and the full retirement age from 70 to 72
Means test SS benefits
Raise the top IRS tax rate from 37% to 40%
Eliminate the "Capital Gains" tax break.
Add a Federal Sales or VAT

No. Nuke shutdowns. Congress has a Constitutional duty to pass actual budgets. Pass budgets and its not an issue.

This is not a right or left issue. Both parties have decided Congress apparently has not actual responsibilities.

I don't like it. It would open up the doors for the Dems to pass all kinds of junk when they control the Senate. I know it says only in cases of shutdown but I ain't buying that.

That's the reason I prefer declaring Martial Law for 10 minutes.


We are "at war" with

ANTIFA
Tren de Aragua
MS13
China regarding trade
Russia is flying warplanes near our assets and making threats


and hence the definition to declare Martial Law is met, we are at war, and we need the government open because of that truth.

As if it would end there.

What can stop it?

Trump declares Martial Law at 7pm
Trump signs EO passing the CR and re-opening at 7:05pm
Trump declared end of Martial Law at 7:10pm

What can the Alliance for Treason Against America do to stop that?

You do not have the votes to overturn it....

Nothing

Both options may blow. Martial Law is a terrible option, though.

That has nothing to do with being a lawyer or whatever it is you do. It’s just basic political philosophy.

Exactly.

The ACA made healthcare more expensive, not less expensive.

If millions of people have no health insurance, who pays for their medical expenses? Hint: they have no money

If they qualify.....Medicaid.

Removing the cap would extend SS from 2034 to 2060.

What does removing the cap do to the benefits received?
If I pay twice as much as I did under the cap, do I receive double the benefit?

Means test SS benefits

Meaning that even after I paid in twice as much, I get less than double, less than I received before or even nothing?

Some have argued that the government should eliminate the payroll tax cap without any accompanying benefit increase for the wealthy.

Or just kill the wealthy and take all their assets, eh comrade?

I don't think the Supreme Court will allow that. Nor should they, the Constitution is very plain about Congress having the sole responsibility to spend federal money.

The case for Martial Law is there.

WE are under attack from

1. millions of criminal illegals
2. ANTIFA
3. drug gangs
4. trade war adversaries, overwhelmingly China

To shut the government down now is to endanger America. That by itself justifies Martial Law.
