Subject: Re: The Intractable Reason House Is Shut Down
If you believe the clean C.R. deserves to be passed, you should be chastising Senate Dems for not voting for it.

In 2025, the cost of my health insurance is 39% higher than it was in 2024 because Republicans did not extend healthcare subsidies for the middle class that existed in 2024. Yet they thought it was a good idea to extend tax cuts that were due to expire for billionaires. That doesn’t sound so clean to me.

So I do not believe the “clean” CR deserves to be passed.

If you do not believe the clean C.R. deserves to be passed, then why would you encourage Republicans to break the fillibuster rule to pass a bad (according to you) C.R.? That's an unprincipled position on your part.

I’m not encouraging the Republicans to do anything except extending healthcare subsidies for the middle class. I’m just pointing out that the Republicans have the option to pass their “clean” CR all on their own. They do not need the Democrats in order to pass their CR. Nothing unprincipled there.

Also: Why do Democrat Senators want to be anti-Democratic Kings and starve our kids???

Why are you blaming Democrats when the Republicans have the option to pass the CR all on their own?

If the Republicans need Democrat vote, then the democratic thing to do is compromise with the Democrats. The Democrats aren’t asking for all their priorities, just affordable healthcare for the middle-class.
