The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The democrats got nothing in exchange for 40 days of taking people's SNAP benefits, long lines in airports and a lot more risk to aviation safety.

They went all in to die on 2 hills:

-Illegal aliens getting federal help for medical treatment
-Extension of COVID-era subsidies for Obamacare

For those who want to push back, we linked the exact legislation and the exact pages.

Now the democrats are in a pickle. They're never getting illegal aliens back on Medicare. That's gone. If they try the next time they win the House and the Senate they're going to have to come out and admit what they're doing.

Since they didn't get to slide the COVID-era subsidies through, now they have to have a conversation about why, in the era of Obamacare, premiums keep rising, health insurance companies are doing well, and literally everything that Obamacare promised hasn't come to fruition.

That's going to be an uncomfortable conversation for them.
