The party who is running the country does in theory have an obligation to all Americans, the opposition has an obligation to their own block.
Hateful and incompetent is how most people would describe that.
About a decade ago, Tea Party Republicans were in the minority, they refused to approve the budget as the Democrats are doing now.
At that time, Democrats accused the Republicans of ‘holding the government hostage’. Now the roles are exactly reversed.
It’s games as usual.
Also, isn’t it true that the expiring credits are for people who earn more money than ACA allowed? ( In other words, the poor still get assistance.)
Please provide receipts if there are other aspects to be considered.
So? There's no rule that temporary things can't later become permanent.
For example the Trump tax cuts from 2017 were supposed to temporary, expiring this year. The "Big Beautiful Bill" made them permanent.
Also the healthcare part is not just letting temporary COVID era credits expire. It also includes cuts to Medicaid.
Why negotiate with that?
And yet they chose to pass a bill which would fail to get 60 votes. And when that vote failed to get 60 votes, they chose not to enter into any discussions to alter the bill to get it to win more votes, but rather to try to pass the same bill again and again to get 60 votes. Indeed, some have even called for passing a larger bill that includes Democrats' aims and simply ignoring the enacted law, for adherence to the rule of the law is already absent in this administration.
To blame this situation on the party with the least power at the moment is pure lunacy.
It’s tempting to assume they have a plan because we project rationality but I don’t think they do beyond chaos and hurt the people they don’t like.
They are antifa, that’s terrorists you know.
