Shutdown Length

[kluurs]

Word is the house won't be back next week - which means 1) we've set a record and 2) someone's got to blink - and it's probably going to be the Dems.

In my view Trump's got the stronger hand. Whatever legislation one wants to pass, it needs to be done on its own merits, not by blackmail.

Hahaha made me chuckle

Im sure the shutdown is hard on all the government employees but it’s especially hard for men. They’re foregoing $1 for every 83c the women are foregoing.

[Mik]

Yes. So unfair.

[jon-nyc]

According to Trump the shutdown has already been a victory for the Dems.

[jon-nyc]

Odd though that he thinks he wasn’t on the ballot.

Schumer just did a thing. On the senate floor he offered a compromise. Reopen the government with a temporary extension of the ACA subsidies (which he describes as extending current law). Then create a bipartisan subgroup to negotiate something long term to address health care costs.

[Mik]

Stay the course. The additional subsidies should die. Of course the Trump tax cuts should have too.
