Two reasona they wont vote on a clean CR...

[kiki]

Still holding Obama blameless; what is there to discuss other than what an embarrassing clueless dimwit you appear to be.

I'm amused that you think passing CRs constitutes doing the people's business. I thought it was the duty of Congress to pass a BUDGET every year. But then, since when did the buffoon in the White House and his minnieme dipshit in the Senate give a shit about the Constitution right?

A resolution for the budget of $988 billion was not what the Democrats wanted, but they consented to it. The sequester cut 2 1/2 trillion, and yet the GOP is not satisfied. Do you know why? Because the Koch Bros have spent $200 million trying to defund the ACA. Yep, that's right, they spent $200 million to keep Americans from having access to health care.
John Boehner is not a leader because he doesn't have the balls to allow a non-partisan up/down vote to keep the government open.

 

[kiki]

I want no more government spending without Congressional approval, and that's what I'm getting, isn't it?

How much is it costing to keep the government closed?
Why would the GOP want to pay workers for not working?
The members of Congress have four health care options and the government pays 72% of their premiums, as well as they have a tax write-off. Why shouldn't the American people have one choice?

Cut more.

Shut down more.

Won't matter.

People are waking up to the fact that the government doesn't do as much good in their lives as some want you to believe.

The sky's not falling.

Next on the agenda: no debt limit increase.

 

[kiki]

Tell Harry Reid.

He's the one that blocked funding for NIH...and BTW, existing patients are being treated. But I guess you knew that, didn't you?

Harry Reid didn't close the government down, and it wasn't until the GOP were embarrassed that they wanted to fund NIH. You do realize that they had cut funding for NIH?
They had a group of people stand in front of the cameras with white coats and stethoscopes. They must have been proctologists because they are pulling talking points out of their arses.

So you're okay with the fact that our foods are not being inspected; that FEMA has been closed; that gravely ill people have been turned away by NIH because of funding; that children have been turned away by Head Start because of funding; 800,00 workers have been furloughed; law enforcement has been scaled back, etc, etc.
For some Americans the sky is falling, but you're not a patriot.

Blow your hot air at the child who is suffering from cancer and cannot get treatment.

What about the people losing their health ins and getting dumped on the exchanges?

What about the people getting their hours cut?

What about the job loses because of Obamacare?

What about the 30 million people who won't have healthcare?

Harry Reid and the Democrat Party refused to pass the House bill that would have funded NIH fully.



U.S. Senate Blocks House Plan to Exempt NIH From Shutdown


The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate has blocked a House of Representatives plan to restore current funding levels for the National Institutes of Health (NIH).


The U.S. government shutdown that began on 1 October stopped processing grant applications and accepting new patients at its clinical research center.

In response, the Republican leaders of the House of Representatives offered a series of bills that would reopen NIH and several other popular agencies, including the National Park Service and the Smithsonian Institution.

Senate Democrats, however, rejected that approach.


“I strongly support the NIH,” said Representative Fred Upton (R-MI). “We have folks waiting in the queue to participate in lifesaving clinical trials. They have every right to be furious with this body, but we can fix that by passing this bill so that they don't have to wait. Come on. Let's put policy over politics and do this, not for us but for them.”


“There is no defensible argument against this legislation,” said Representative Renee Ellmers (R-NC). “The government shutdown is preventing new patients from entering clinical trials. For those patients, it is a matter of life and death; it is not a matter of politics.”

They don't care about facts.

 

[Bonestorm]

The fact is that Harry Reid and the Senate passed a bill that fully funded the NIH, along with the rest of the government. The House won't even vote on it.

More fearmongering?

Pathetic.

Maybe you missed the fact that Obama and Hagel pulled a fast one and sent 400,000 DoD civilian employees back to work already, and that the House voted to give all furloughed federal employes back pay...

As for the rest of your chicken little bullshit, link up.

Employers with 50 or fewer employees are not required to offer health insurance under the ACA. Those companies with over 50 employees have been given a one year reprieve from penalties if they don't offer insurance. So why are employees losing their jobs? Why are their hours being cut?

Stating facts is not fear mongering.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and the Pentagon adopted a broad interpretation of the law. While it doesn't give them leeway to bring everyone back, Mr. Hagel said on Saturday, the law allows the department to end furloughs for everyone who contributes to the "morale, well-being, capabilities and readiness of service members."

That, Pentagon lawyers determined, includes people performing a broad range of activities, such as offering medical care, working in base commissaries, analyzing intelligence and training staff.

The economy is suffering because the GOP shut the government down. And now they are driving our economy to the brink of destruction.
Are you able to discern how much our economy has grown since 2008?
