How special, the ones being paid have not been working while those working a not being paid. What a crock, should be the other way around. Stop paying politicians during shutdowns and see how fast they come to a compromise.
And Johnson says it’s a “nightmare” – getting paid but not having to work. What a nightmare?! He did have to continue to lie daily but that’s become second nature for him.
I have said that repeatedly, but it’s like shouting into the void. A big part of the problem is the clown “journalists” refuse to ask their political masters the most obvious question— why are you getting paid during a shutdown?
And yes, please ask the question to elected idiots of both parties. And yes, the congressional reps themselves are mostly wealthy either from daddy’s money, or the graft that comes with their office, but their staffs are not. I’m also guessing Saint Andre would miss his taxpayer provided stipend if it missed a payment
Johnson will bring the House back to Washington as soon as he can convince one Republican to change their mind on releasing the Epstein Files.
I’m still waiting on the Republican alternative to the ACA that isn’t … a return to the days before the ACA, in which (among other ripoffs) pregnancy was a pre-existing condition that allowed insurers to deny coverage. Since Republicans are so “pro-life” and talk such a big game when it comes to the sanctity of life, they’d want to ensure pregnant women got effective healthcare coverage
Whoever knew the dissolving Congress and running away to hide would be a successful strategy. I guess without Townhall meetings all the Republican representatives could hide from the press and not have to answer questions.
I can’t believe that every Republican was willing to starve low income constituents to make a political point. It doesn’t seem like anyone that would do that could ever be negotiating in good faith.
I believe it’s the Democrats that we’re starving low-income constituents. The Republicans are the ones that voted to keep the government running and operating.
Republicans are so insistent on killing the Affordable Care Act by a million cuts that they are willing and able to hurt their own voters to do it, and hold the country hostage to get it. And it worked! They got the Democrats to fold like they always do and pass those sweet, sweet tax cuts on to their wealthy donors.
Last I heard Republicans didn’t want to extend the current state of ACA subsidies for a year because they didn’t want the insurance companies to make any money. So … what’s the alternative they’re proposing, Medicaid for All? When exactly are Republicans going to produce that alternative healthcare plan? They’ve had 15 years and never have, even once, come up with anything. But some of you people keep voting for them because you’re convinced that, any day now, they’ll produce that “better and cheaper” healthcare plan they promised…
Every one of these elected idiots deserves a severe flight delay and cancellation on their way to Washington
Dan— hyperbole much? Congress is not remotely “dissolved” they are thriving at full pay. No one is “starving” because they didn’t get their food stamps a week ago.
Running away? You are forgetting Pat Bauer leading Indiana Democrats to hide in Illinois when a piece of legislation came up they didn’t like (also at full pay, of course). More recently IBJ Master, Ed Delaney went to Chicago to meet with TX Democrats who ran off the job
Asking politicians questions? I’m all for it. Ask any republican rep why they are being paid and print the answers, or more likely the non response, but how about starting with the congressman of the district where IBJ is located?
Unfortunately, Nate Feltman is not allowed to question his Patron Saint
