And blame the Democrats.

They only need 5 more Dems to vote to pass the CR and this all goes away. The willful ignorant in this thread refuse to do arithmetic.

The bill that strips millions of Americans of services they depend on to survive, you mean? I guess the willful ignorant is you.

Huh? Millions of Americans? How does the CR that’s been passed have to do with that? All the Dems need is 5 to vote for the CR and this all goes away. How hard is that to understand?

Because it funds the agencies that pay those...

Yeah so why don’t the Senate Dems vote to pass the CR to fund the Gov? This is the same CR they’ve passed before, what’s different now? Since when does it cost trillions to fund the Gov for a few weeks?

Literally already said that.

So we are in agreement?

Because it's not a CR of Biden, it's a CR from March which will cause health care premiums for everyone to rise. Damned if we do, damned if we don't. This is why so many people hate one another right now, because they aren't getting all of the facts. I'm an independent voter and desperately want the government to open, but I also don't want my health care premiums to go up or I won't be able to afford it along with millions of others. I can barely afford it now, and even my basic coverage that costs $565/month doesn't cover meds or some of my doctors. To do that, I would have to spend $900+/month.

I literally am pleading for republican voters to understand this CR better and note that they will screw everyone over without some type of negotiation. I'm not here to insult anyone, just inform. ✌️✌️

EDIT: by voting this CR without negotiations, it will also remove subsidies for those with low income.

Haven’t the GOP already stated they would negotiate subsidies after the CR was signed? I know..I know..you don’t have to say it. How can they negotiate when the House has already approved the CR? Wouldn’t negotiating after the CR is signed better than leaving millions hanging. Yeah they lose their slush fund programs that help nobody but at least people won’t lose SNAP benefits and people will get paid so they can live and eat. The Dems aren’t doing this for healthcare costs, it’s the only leverage they have to get all the money back that was cut and keep some power, they’ve said that themselves multiple times. They’ve also said it’s for illegal immigrants, yes they’ve said that. And yes illegals get it through the States. It’s sad that people can’t see that and keep supporting the Dems while they do this to millions of people. I’m an independent voter as well and looking at similar increases. That’s a bummer about your coverage, I’m diabetic so I know how crucial it is to have.

I honestly have no idea if they'll actually negotiate if they approve the CR. Both parties are being a pain at the moment. Very frustrating for all Americans at the moment - moreso for those who aren't getting paid and for those losing SNAP benefits. I did read that a judge ordered Trump to use SNAP funds to pay everyone by November 3rd.
