That’s your answer to the question of whether millions of hard working people who work in the new economy or for themselves and will have to take a pay cut or have substandard health care or no health care at all because the current administration values the 35 billion they will save not providing the extra subsidy while at the same time giving 40 billion over to Argentina.

I thought it was America First but I suppose Trump lied about that like he does every thing else.

What are they crying about?
Only thing I hear them wanting is to help those with healthcare across the board.

I guess you can't hear the maggies because they only want to serve the Big Cheato and he blows his own horn.

It’s Past Time to End This Shutdown
October 27, 2025 By: Everett Kelley, AFGE National President

This week, Congress pushed our nation into the fourth week of a full government shutdown – an avoidable crisis that is harming families, communities, and the very institutions that hold our country together. Both political parties have made their point, and still there is no clear end in sight.

Today I’m making mine: it’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today. No half measures, and no gamesmanship. Put every single federal worker back on the job with full back pay — today.

As president of the American Federation of Government Employees, I represent over 800,000 federal and D.C. government workers who serve with pride and professionalism.

They ensure our skies are safe, our veterans receive care, our borders are protected, and our food is inspected. They come from every political background and every corner of this nation. What unites them is a simple belief: that service to country is honorable work.

Today, that belief is being tested. The Army nurse in San Antonio, the TSA officer in Atlanta, the USDA food safety inspector in Iowa, and hundreds of thousands more like them are being asked to keep our country running without the paychecks that keep their own households afloat.

These are patriotic Americans – parents, caregivers, and veterans – forced to work without pay while struggling to cover rent, groceries, gas and medicine because of political disagreements in Washington. That is unacceptable.

Unfortunately, shutdowns have become a recurring tactic in Washington. But there is no “winning” a government shutdown. They cost taxpayers billions, hurt small businesses, and erode confidence in government itself. And the American people know this. That’s why 9 out of 10 Americans think this government shutdown is a problem...

Pathetic bleating of the leftist sheep. ������

Even if a stop gap budget finally gets passed and the Federal Government reopens, it's only good to keep the Federal government operating for 2 months.


That means in 2 months time, Congress will be back fighting among themselves to pass another 2 month stop gap budget.


Stop doing that and pass a budget for the entire fiscal year beginning October 1st and ending September 30th.

Remember when Schmuck Shumer almost shutdown the government back in March of this year, over the OBBB vote?

From da Wiki:
...Chuck Schumer announced that he would support a continuing resolution to fund the government through September, arguing that Trump's efforts were being halted in the courts—which could be impeded by a shutdown; that a shutdown would give greater authority to the Department of Government Efficiency; and that market uncertainty would mount over a shutdown in addition to imminent widespread tariffs, causing ambiguity over the responsibility of economic fear.[5] Schumer's support incited other Democrats to vote in favor of a temporary continuing resolution proposed by Republicans, allowing the measure to pass and averting a shutdown. Schumer was criticized by several Democrats for his move, including House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries....

So, waz UP-Chuck?

Did you:
- Lose your Fear of DOGE?
- Lose your Lawfare backstop?
- Lose your Fear of economic fear?
- Lose your Fear of the markets collapsing?
- Or are ya Just licking the ball sacks of the radicals in your party because of the "leverage" you have over the starving and impoverished peoples, who just don't matter except to take it up the keester, all for a few more votes from the Socialists in your upcoming Primary?

Logging back in, the new postings to threads I see have a definite 3:1 ratio of maggies bitch posting to libbys.

That is pathetic. Just like the maggies not coughing up a healthcare plan all these years. It's just one thing the demos are asking. It is a world of multiple bleating from the sheeple.

Y'all need to get a spine, care about your constituents, and give the finger to the guy bringing down your party.

The majority of We the People already gave the finger to the crew that was dragging down our country by spreading around the wealth of other peoples. We're just patiently wanting for the news of your team being the definitive minority to sink in to some dense skulls for ya'll.

By shutting down the government it shows how much disregard ya'll have for the governed.

Bitch posting to libbys is also known as sharing reality with libbys or edumacating them, fruitless as that may be.

But with all that research and mathing you've done, how come no introspect and realization of why team Libby took such a savage shellacking in the last election?

That's why we have elections. And until of late, they have been noted to be fair and peaceful in transfer of office. But the minority tried to give the finger to this when they didn't get their way. And that minority is still in denial about January 6. DEEPLY in denial.

And you call concentrating wealth to the few while ignoring the constituents spreading the wealth?!?!

By shutting down the government it shows how maggies are demonstrating that they are not willing to have an open dialogue and are doing their best to go pell mell in tearing down anything that displeases the Big Cheato. And *I* guess the #1 item is to tear down the program they lovingly refer to as Obama Care. Even though their constituents have repeatedly gone against the Orange one in his efforts to get rid of it.

This can all stop when the Party of No presents their healthcare plan to the public so as the people can choose the better one. This has been a sore in your side for the better part of a couple decades. Don't be pissed your called on it. Especially when it is for maggies and libbys benefit.

Oh. So when maggies bitch, it is to educate.
When libbys bitch, they are whining.

Got it.

Answer us the level of mathematic education you have and i'll justify your post with a response. Because you have a low standard for the definition of shellacking.

Imma do a bit of random reassembly, to build a more congruent timeline.
While it may seem to start out off topic, it finishes on point - IMMHO.

You may remember the O'Bama-nation 2008 campaign trail refrain to Joe the Plumber: "And I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody". Joe was not a "concentrated wealth" kinda guy. He was a plumber wanting to purchase a business for $250K.

Notwithstanding the glaring denials that Trump won 2024, perhaps you recall the O'Bama-nation's phrase right after inauguration in 2009: "Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won". Ironically enough, he was also reported to have said: "So I think on that one I trump you".

It was actually HillaryCare from the early 1990s, created in secret and cut-n-pasted into a deleted Veterans health bill to become the ACA on March 23, 2010. It was an abortion then and has remained an albatross since.

As you may recall, he received a devastating "shellacking" for it in that same year at the November 3, 2010 midterm elections. To his credit and far different than today's Democrats, he stated: "I'm not recommending for every future President that they take a shellacking like I did last night," and admitted he had been "humbled" by the results.

In other words, he owned it and attempted to move on. Although, in September, 2013 he was faced with his own 2 month long shutdown and guess what it was about. He wanted even more of Other Peoples Money, to pretty-up his ugly baby, i.e. ACA.

In fact, he was rather peeved about it. How dare they! He was slamming shutdowns as “irresponsible” and accusing Republicans of trying to "blackmail a president”... You can view the 60 second subtitled pontification here. I dunno, maybe that's just how he does open dialog and all.

Interesting transference and ducking of responsibility. Let's see how that plays out. Let us recollect pResident AutoPen's American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 initially provided enhanced subsidies for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces for the 2021 and 2022 plan years. How? You guessed it: More of Other People's Money.

This was followed up with pResident AutoPen's Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which extended enhanced premium tax credits (PTCs) for three additional years, covering plan years 2023 through 2025. How? You, know. The thing... More of Other People's Money. Come on man!

So here we are. You have a 15 year old, fugly baby, from day 1, that has morphed into an albatross around your own neck, which you've continuously shoveled endless streams of; go ahead, you can tells us, we already know: More of Other People's Money and it's actually uglier than the day it was born.

Transference, ducking responsibilities, even throwing tons-o Other People's money at it has not fixed a ding-danged thing. But now it's all the Republican's fault. That's your whole shutdown argument?!? And whatever happens, Republicans have to fix it this very second, even after 15 years of your expensive and feeble minded attempts, or we shut the government down STAT, because we are totally willing to "leverage" the bejesus outta the most vulnerable people we have at hand!

Either that or we deleverage the most vulnerable, keep planes from falling out of the sky, put on our big boy pants and work for We the People, which in all irony is the purpose of a CR, much as I dislike them.

Going with the we ain't never had the power to do nut'n 'bout nut'n it in all those 15 years and it's all yous guy's fault, just ain't gonna cut it.

The actual math (per the Medicaid/Medicare office and the rates they've released for the coming year) would result in a huge, horrible increase of, wait for it, $3 a week. Yep, $12 a month without renewing those subsidies. Which can be offset by using your Health Savings Account using dollars that are tax deductible. The cheaper catastrophic plans will be available to most people, keeping them away from Obamacare's unaffordable premiums. Yet Dems are holding Americans hostage and admitting they're doing it to try to get $1.5 trillion for illegals and other garbage. And refuse to do any real reform to health care costs.

Where do you get those numbers?
