Government Shutdown

[75thru79]

The best outcome the Democrats can hope for is a re-opened government, released Epstein files, and a platform showing how the whole cabal of Republicans are heartless, lying thieves who doubled the cost of healthcare for every American and probably 80-100 million with no healthcare due to affordability. Sit and watch national healthcare collapse in on itself.

With all due respect, having the government make up the difference between what an individual would have to pay for healthcare sans credits and with the credits does not make anything "affordable". It still costs the same unless we take actions to bring down what the doctors, hospitals and pharmacies charge for health care. Having the government take the money out of your back pocket to just turn around and give it back to you as a credit into your front pocket does not bring down the cost of health care, It just shifts it onto someone else.

Sure we can do that but are you willing to wipe out 20% of the population to reign it back in as is being attempted right now. The problems indeed need fixing but they take years of committed leadership to do so. That is non existent now.

People fail to see how these programs contribute to a significant portion of our GDP and economy. If you cant afford healthcare you cant work, if you have to stay home to care for a loved one you can't work.

The rip the band aid approach will result in disastrous outcomes for our country. And that is what the Republicans want is to just break it all. If civil unrest unfolds, just impose martial law and suspend elections.

You can laugh at me, but you dont strategically place national guard personnel through the country without some expectation that civil unrest emerges and all you then it is to strike the match. You get people going hungry and that is what you will get.

And many people will be fine with this outcome, but this ain't America.

I didn't realize that pointing out facts would cause 20% of the population to die.

I didn't realize that pointing out facts would cause 20% of the population to die.

According to the Left, if it wasn't for the government's wisdom and gentle embrace, we'd all die.
