Johnson must think we are rubes. Republicans blow up the filibuster all the time. They can end this shutdown in five minutes if they desired. Better question is, why aren’t they “winning” the shutdown? It’s almost as though they don’t want the government to be open.
And, 15 years after the ACA passed and Republicans still complain about the ACA yet have never bothered to put another proposal before the country … repeal and replace …. concepts of a plan … better and cheaper … yeah, they must think we are fools.
They are still getting paid, so they don’t care. I’m actually unsure why anyone wants to be a government worker right now. With having to walk on egg shells, worry about someone taking a picture of them near anything T-Rex doesn’t like or a sniffle and your department is closed. If I wasn’t getting paid and now threatening no back pay, I would be job searching. This is the opportunity for the workers to fight back and go on strike. Health Care benefits all people, no party preferences.
A government that doesn’t function needs replacement. A government shutdown should result in the immediate resignation of the party leadership if they actually had America’s best interests in mind.
I buy my insurance on the ACA marketplace. I make too much money to qualify for any credits, so I pay full price for a crummy “bonze” plan with a high deductible. It cost me $900 a month for insurance. Open enrollment won’t start until November, by my insurance company has filled with the Indiana department of Insurance for a 39% rate increase for next year. This is because the expected reaction to the Republican’s elimination of the tax credit is that healthy you people are going to drop coverage and without rate increases, the insurance company is going to lose money.
That will be an extra $4200 Republican tax that I am going to pay next year!!
The only reason Johnson is saying this will be the longest shutdown ever, is because he told Republicans to go home and wants to make sure there is no possibility of any negotiation. He thinks it’s the only way he can control the narrative over unpopular MAGA Project 2025 policies.
Oh, the other rumor is Johnson doesn’t want to swear in a new Democrat and that person will provide the 218th vote to force the release the Epstein files.
I am with you. I have a Gold plan due to having 4 kids. Its $1800 per month. Affordable, no, necessary, yes. Not sure what 2026 will bring, but I can tell you that representatives sitting on their hands need to stand up.
The real shutdown is IBJ’s. Not one blurb about Trump’s Mideast peace deal. Can IBJ go any further to the left……….
The one he promised day one of his term, along with Russia and Ukraine? Stoke his ego elsewhere. That is actually part of his job, he just doesn’t know it.
I’m not sure you know this but IBJ stands for Indianapolis “Business” Journal. They report on things that directly affect the Indiana Economy, like a government shutdown. When a nascent peace deal 6000 miles away has a direct effect on the Indiana economy, I am sure this “left wing rag” will cover it in detail.
The same Trump that didn’t want peace if he couldn’t get credit for it?
What does a government shutdown have to do with the Middle East?
Trump’s peace deal? Hardly. He had nothing to do with that, trust me. Neither Hamas nor Israel has any respect for that man. He assisted in nothing.
This is one of the few times I actually agree with Marjorie Taylor-Green, she is bucking Trump and the Republicans on the topic of healthcare coverage. Our senators are totally out of touch with reality as Young is on record as stating that the healthcare coverage is a fake crisis created by the Democrats. It is obvious he is clueless as to how many of the people who put him in office need the subsidy to be able to afford decent coverage. The fact the DC useless are being paid to do nothing while allowing his highness to raise taxes via tariffs, use the funds as his personal piggy bank allow the weaponization of the DOJ and other illegal activities means they are not following their oath to protect the Constitution of the US and should be fired for derelection of duty.
Young is doing everything possible to avoid getting primaried and it still might not be enough.

Republicans should come to the negotiating table in good faith
Negotiating in bad faith has been the Republican platform since Obama was elected. Look back to when Obama made numerous compromises on the ACA, trying to win Republican votes and actually pass bipartisan changes that help people, only after months to discover that Republicans would never vote for it because it was more expedient for them to fight something that had more in common with their own healthcare proposals than single payer government healthcare.
The Republican reward for that is full control of the government twice. Why would anyone expect them to behave differently? Voters reward them for it.
