Schumer Shutdown Question

[kyzr]

We haven't blocked anything. Republicans have gotten to do everything they've wanted to do for 9 months. Now, you have to get Democrats to go along with this budget deal or to raise the debt limit. Sorry, this is how Democracy works.

Actually no, the debt limit was raised, so check that box.
The democrats think they can extort the Republicans, nope, Thune cxan go nuclear and pass the CR, Appropriations, and Rescissions with simple majorities.

Trump doesn't get everything he wants because he won. Obama didn't, Biden didn't, Clinton didn't. If the GOP had any power they used it. This is all we have. So you're going to have to give us something or Republicans are really going to take an ass pounding next year.

Republicans ran on an agenda, they won, now they are implementing their agenda, if they go nuclear.

No Trump's approval rating is decreasing but you live in an alternate reality so.... I have shown everything you believe is happening is a lie but yet you continue to believe the lie. DOGE for example. Scam. Where's the wall? Scam. Ballroom and parades and giving Trump $230 million? Is that what we elected him to do? No sir. Mike Johnson is a *****. I think America is learning their lesson on GOP rule.
And you think his approval rating is going up. What world do you live in bro?

I showed you Trump's approval, it is not decreasing. Look at the ******* graph.

DOGE is real, the wall is real, Mexico is paying for it via the new Remittance tax.

The ballroom is real, the $230m is not, yet. Yes we elected Republicans to implement the BBB. Stop typing LIES.

We wouldn’t be where we are today had the Dems not been lazy, you would’ve thought they’d get smarter after the overturning of Roe v Wade, but they are stuck on stupid.

They need to suck it up, vote to open the government with a contingency to come to an agreement with Republicans to work on healthcare. What their stupidity has done is cost the American taxpayer tons of money. The time for using bargaining power was last year, not now when the cost and uncertainty is so high.

You apparently need to blame Democrats for the past rather than see Congress now respect the present will of the People.

I'd just hope to see the millions who would lose their coverage be allowed to keep it if Republicans who control government would agree to it.

 

[hadit]

What "other massive spending," specifically, are you talking about?

They want 1.5 trillion added to the budget. Maybe you're too wealthy to think that's a big deal, but to me it's massive spending.

The will of the people elected their Congress and their President. The will of the people is to send illegal aliens back to their country and let them apply legally but Democrats, have now had two “No Kings” rallies. They seem upset with the will of the people.

The will of the people was to put Republicans in charge. The will of the people in November of last year, was to have a ACA for most Americans but still thought it better to vote Republican for the overall good of America.

The will of the people voted and decided. Maybe Democrats should have focused more on the will of the people last year and they would not have put themselves in this position now.

What was aded and who added it?

 

[hadit]

What was aded and who added it?

It wasn't added, that's the point. They WANT to keep the Covid crisis era subsidies going and rollback cost saving measures in Medicare and Medicaid (largely work requirements for recipients), for examples. Feel free to look up the rest at this link.

So Obamacare is going to double in price in 4 weeks and you think the Democrats should just let it happen?

******* idiot.

Obamacare is the Affordable Care Act. How and why is it doubling and why does it need subsidies? Either Obamacare is flawed and/or Democrats are using the shutdown tactic to enable illegals to get taxpayer funded healthcare backdoor through the states and as a means to attack Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

Your definition of "the will of the People" as being frozen in time on November 5, 2024, and the 49.8% who voted for Trump as having absolute power over the 48.2% who voted for his principle opponent until th next election. That is not how it works.

The 51.9% who currently disapprove of Trump do not cede all their rights as Americans to the 44.9% who approve of him.

At present, a significant majority of Americans clearly want ACA premium subsidies continued, Republicans included, and Republicans presently have the power to respect the American People, including their own constituents.

And if Schumer proposed only that, he would probably get a positive reaction and we could get back to work.

Where is the bill that proposes only that from the Republican leadership?

Why are they determined to make healthcare coverage unaffordable for millions of Americans?

You'll have to ask at the next meeting. I don't speak for them.

They're not, it would appear that they are willing to let obamadon'tcare survive on its own without massive taxpayer subsidies. We were told that obamadon'tcare was going great and helping so many people BEFORE the Covid crisis subsidies democrats put in, WITH a sunset provision that they would expire. Now, we're told that obamadon'tcare will catastrophically hurt untold numbers of people if we go back to when it was going great.

Schumer is holding things up. If he proposed it, he would look like he actually gives a flying rat's patoot.

I have no way of knowing what you were told or by whom.

I concur with a significant majority of Americans that premium subsidies must be continued if healthcare coverage is not to soon become unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Allowing millions of Americans to remain insured is now within the power of the Republican leadership.

More than three-quarters (78%) of the public say they want Congress to extend the enhanced tax credits available to people with low and moderate incomes to make the health coverage purchased through the Affordable Care Act’s Marketplace more affordable, a new KFF Health Tracking Poll finds. That’s more than three times the share (22%) who say they want Congress to let the tax credits expire.​

​

Most Republicans (59%) and “Make American Great Again” supporters (57%) favor extending the enhanced tax credits, which otherwise would expire at the end of the year and require Marketplace customers to pay much more in premiums to retain coverage. Larger majorities of Democrats (92%) and independents (82%) also support extending the enhanced tax credits, as do most people who buy their own health insurance, most of whom purchase through the Marketplace (84%).​

Also within Schumer's power to propose. If it's a real concern for him, he's free to do so. The fact that he's claiming he wants it but won't propose it as important enough to bargain with it is very telling. He wants the whole $1.5 trillion or nothing.

The Republicans do.

He's not even proposing any kind of negotiation to keep the Covid crisis era subsidies. He claims he wants them but won't negotiate to get them, instead insisting on getting everything or nothing, and it's nothing that the people are getting for their tax dollars.

 

[sealybobo]

Trump is not getting everything he wants. This is the Progressives business as usual tantrum. The younger people are going to suffer more and more as you guys increase your power. We already for a few decades and longer have people better in the same employment than others due to agendas and getting the same salary and benefits as each other. When really expanded a person can be ten times better in the field of work and earn the same as a slacker and nothing will be done about it. At that point it pays to become a slacker. We already see the costs of domestic industrial, military, space and other related products mushroom with government involved.

What is Trump being denied?

Young people after seeing 4 years of Trump and this year of Trump, are more open than ever to socialism, even communism. Your ISM is failing us. Now blame it on Democrats.

Yes I can tell you are brainwashed with the generalizations you make.

Your way produces more stupidity, less wealth to the middle class, a wider gap between the rich and rest of us, a gap that was shrinking under Biden.

Sorry dude but did you see American made candy is up 10.2%? Because the ingredients and wrapper come from another country. You ******* idiots! Your leader is causing MORE inflation and you still defend this stupid son of a ***** because you yourself are a stupid son of a *****. Must be.

All Republican politicians need to do is respect the wishes of a sizable majority of Americans.

They can ignore Schumer.

Donald Trump’s Support Among Middle Class Crumbling: Poll​

We know that 40% of you won't budge. You love him no matter what horrible things he does to you, your family or your country. You just don't care. Like a ******* Notsee in 1939. I get it. Or a Russian in 2025 who likes Putin. I don't want you to change the subject to Hitler on me here.

Trumps approval rating went negative in 12 states he won.

I had to really keep searching till I found a positive one for Trump and his poll numbers. USA today. A conservative rag. Fake news. Never had respect for them. LOL. I'm doing a Trump impersonation.

Actually, they can't without changing the rules, and Republicans don't like to do that. All they can do is propose negotiations, which Schumer is refusing.
