I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare, “Affordable Care Act” bullshit started. I got here in 2021. As a matter of fact, the ACA made health insurance UNAFFORDABLE for my family after it was passed, with skyrocketing premiums higher than our house payment.

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.

No further actions required of the Republicans at this point.

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.

Nope.

Wht should happen is the entire congress should stop getting paid and have their pension times halted. They have so much squirreled away they can totally survive it without any sacrifices anyway.

Sorry Chuck...the shutdown may yet show what gov. is necessary...and (more importantly) what gov. isn't...DOGE data.

"Democrats voted for a shutdown. Now they have to find a way out"...Ass.Press Oct.1

Democrats name their price...

“Sorry not interested in buying what you’re selling”

Socialists don’t understand supply and demand. Or market trends. They do know how to (or try to) cram square pegs into round holes really well. Forcing crap on others comes natural to socialists.

Us old guys are much simpler. Give us back our sex lives and we’ll take care of everything else. Works every time. The problem is the lack of takers.

There’s more. The price keeps going up.

Y’all are dancing around the real problem,
Better Medicare for illegals than for
Americans! That is the Democrat demand!
Illegals should not even be here.
Biden invited them all in as they all lockstep
vote Democrat.

Illegals aren’t supposed to vote
but CA lets them! as do other Democrat
run states.
Only way the Democrats can win elections.

Translation: “We only want a one-year extension as opposed to say two or three years, so during the election next year we can drive the “gibmedat” voters to the poll with the threat if you don’t come out for us, then Republicans will make you pay more for insurance.”

The illegals also puffed up the census numbers for the commie states, so they didn’t lose as many house seats as they should have.

This game of chicken has so much in common with criminals holding someone hostage.

GOP has to demand proof of life and hope Schumer doesn’t send a bloody severed ear in a small box.

On the day they’ll meet up, Schumer will back away from his promises and demand more to look good. Back to the lockdown.

Which, actually, will happen January 1st even with this continuing resolution stopgap.
