šŸŒŽ Government shutdown

They should keep fighting it. The republicans need those votes plain and simple. I do wish that they were going unpaid also, but that’s obviously out of the question, so they should keep up the fight
Why? It makes no sense to continue paying for something, in a "crisis," when said crisis no longer exists. A guy making five hundred thousand a year gets a subsidy? Are you kidding me?

Keep fighting is bullshit, dude. For whom? What they are saying isn't all about healthcare. It's not all about this country.

They want health insurance subsidies made permanent and they want the damn near 1 trillion in Medicaid cuts put back, so yes they should keep fighting.

They have said they want those subsidies permanent, 24 million people use those enhancements (extra tax credits), those are set to expire, which will make for higher prices when enrollment opens in November and they want to roll back changes to Medicaid. Both things that are good to fight for.
 
Oh I don’t either, but healthcare isn’t going to change in this country while both parties are in bed with insurance and healthcare companies
So we just keep the government shut down or keep adding to the deficit we know we can't pay? Kind of insane imo. What happens at your house when your bills grow but your income doesn't? If you want to keep your house you better cut some expenses, democrats can't seem to understand that. I get they buy votes with "free" subsidies and hand outs but at some point people have to realize nothing is free and the people paying can't afford to keep handing out to the people who aren't.
 
Here's a thought.

12 months. Divide the alphabet by last name.

All SNAP benefits are cut off in January for A-B. You have to reapply. How many wouldn't if the current standards were applied? How much would it cut?
 
Look for all active duty military members and their families to be ordered to eat only in mess halls and to shop in the military stores and commissaries by base COs..
You think the one that get a food ration that live off post eat free at the mess hall? I can tell you no to that. Right at the moment yes all can eat at the mess hall, but when this shut down is over! All that own money to the mess will be taking out of the pay. it still a no win to this too.
 
Honestly, how many times have you predicted an outbreak of hostilities, or even outright civil war?
Just wait it's coming... the commanders of the bases can do this anytime because "comrats" or outdoor living assistance is not being paid.. that means all off base living can be suspended because of government shut down.. that means he can force all people living in apartments to move into barracks to ensure they are being properly fed.. he can make all active duty officers and active duty enlisted move into the barracks... and families to move into on base available housing..

And what would lead you to believe this?

@ElephantStomp see why I avoid this forum on the weekends?
When Clinton took over, commending officers of the bases, made a lot of sailors where I was move back onto the barracks because of his budget cuts in the military.. they're off base living assistance money was cut out. .. both officer and enlisted barracks filled up to the max, especially if they were single.. and so did the mess halls..
