The Republicans are the one's who really caved.

Getting a job would be a lot easier.

Finding one that pays enough to cover the bills and the Babysitter isn't.

Finding one that pays enough to cover the bills and the Babysitter isn't.

Ever heard of downsizing? Men are great at doing that, for many reasons. Especially us law abiding men.

Can’t feed them? Don’t breed them.

Moot point now.

You tell a blatant lie...get called on it...and then declare it's a "Moot point now"?
Aren't you cute!

It is a moot point now that Johnson (and Trump) shut down the government to prevent Americans from having affordable healthcare and to prevent the Release of the Epstein files.
Now the files are going to be released anyway and Americans are going to lose their healthcare and Republicans are going to own that in the midterms next year and get trounced because they've never really had a replacement plan.
See, moot point now.
Moving forward.
Does that help you feel better snowflake?

Dude, Johnson and Trump DID NOT shut down the government! That was done by the Democrats and they kept the government shut down through 14 votes to reopen it!
Obamacare is a mess but let's not forget that the Affordable Care Act was legislation that was passed by Democrats without a single vote from a Republican. They lied about what it would do and what it would cost and now that it's become a crisis, Democrats are demanding that Republicans fix it! You guys gave us this crap...you guys come up with a way to make it "affordable"!

Illegal aliens are going to lose their healthcare. Americans have Medicaid if they need it.

Wrong.
Democrats are demanding that Republicans keep healthcare affordable until someone comes up with a better fix.
Voters understand this now.

Republicans voted to continue to fund the gov't while negotiations continued. Schumer threw a tantrum and denied his voters their SNAP funds for a promise that the ACA would be voted on by mid Dec. That happened yesterday, LOL, how'd that work out for you and Schumer? Moron.

 

[dblack]

How affordable?

 

[MagicMike]

How affordable?

At least as affordable as it has been for the last 15 years.

 

[dblack]

At least as affordable as it has been for the last 15 years.

You mean since government has been trying to make it more affordable?

The vast majority of voters are completely unaffected by the expiration of the covid enhanced subsidies.

They will realize the Dems have been playing chicken little when nothing changes for them next year.

The vast majority of voters are completely unaffected by the expiration of the covid enhanced subsidies.

They will realize the Dems have been playing chicken little when nothing changes for them next year.

The people who will be most affected are red state rural voters in the deep south and throughout Appalachia. This may be the Republican screw up that turns Florida and Texas blue.

“If this does not get extended, the impact is just going to be tremendous,” said Julio Fuentes, president and CEO of the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “It’s just going to be something out of left field for most people, because they don’t even know that this is happening, and they’re going to just get their next bill and see a 200, 300 percent increase, and be like, ‘what is happening here?’”

Republicans in the most competitive districts nationally are already down three percentage points among all registered voters, according to a July survey from Trump pollster Fabrizio Ward. That deficit balloons to 15 points if the candidate lets the boosted tax credits expire.

@yours (YT) is so far right (just ask him) he actually became far left with TDS off the charts. Always Cozyed up with the Mac&Cheese centrist PeeKkkTDS gang wishing "if only Mittens! Liz Chainey or DeSantis as a trainee as well completely crumble shaking heads.

The people who will be most affected are red state rural voters in the deep south and throughout Appalachia. This may be the Republican screw up that turns Florida and Texas blue.

And poor inner city minorities who are increasingly turning to the GOP. This may finally turn the so-called Blue Wall states (which in 2024 were neither blue nor a wall) permanently red.

Florida is no longer a swing state. Not even close. Neither is Ohio. They used to be, but not anymore. Texas may flip in the future, but Hispanics are not a monolithic block, so don't count on that anytime soon.

The GOP may well lose the house in 2026. Don't pretend this is a seismic shift in national sentiment. The party in power ALWAYS loses seats in the midterms.

The fact remains that the Obamacare TEMPORARY Covid extended subsidies affect a tiny proportion of the populace.

All most Republicans do is cave. They truly have no substance. Only personality and appearances. Nothing more.
