Chris Murphy admits the brainless Schumer shutdown is actually a shakedown

[Truth Detector]

This is what is commonly known as a shake down. They are willing to harm millions in order to shake down the Republican majority for programs they can’t get passed during regular congressional budget negotiations.

This is how far down the rabbit hole Democrats have crawled.

Sen. Chris Murphy suggests Dems could end shutdown if GOP agrees to $20 billion deal, far less than prior $1.5 trillion ask​

WASHINGTON — Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy indicated Sunday that the Democrats would likely be willing to end the government shutdown for about $20 billion, a figure far lower than previously requested.

Democratic leadership has publicly demanded a permanent extension of the enhanced Obamacare subsidies, a reversal of the GOP-backed Medicaid reforms, and other concessions, which would cost an estimated $1.5 trillion over the next decade.

“We could probably come up with something pretty quickly,” Murphy (D-Conn.) told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “The president just announced $20 billion going to bail out the Argentinian economy.”

“For $20 billion, we could open the government back up. That’s enough money to relieve a lot of pressure,” he continued. “We can get this deal done in a day.”

Another Democrat scam that did nothing what it promised to do.

They claimed it would lower costs, it did not. They claimed Americans would get healthier. They did not. They set the sunset time on the Covid subsidies, and now they shut the government down over their own legislation.

Democrats’ Obamacare lies reveal how flimsy their government shutdown excuses actually are​

Strip away the lies about Obamacare subsidies set to expire this year, and Democrats’ main excuse for shutting the government goes up in smoke.

Above all else, Dems claim they’re looking to protect health care, that expiring Bamcare subsidies will send premiums soaring and cost many their coverage.

The truth? Premiums are expected to rise by $1,665, or 20%, on average, a Paragon Health Institute study found — yet the expiring subsidies account for only four of those percentage points, or just $333.

Fact is, most ObamaCare subsidies are not expiring.

What’s set to vanish is merely the added cash Democrats in Congress agreed to pay insurers (using taxpayer money) during COVID. That’s it.

Apparently, the halfwits on the left didn't. Of course, they can't remember what they just posted on a thread, let alone what happens a week, or year ago.

So true, TD. So very true.
