(30,624 posts)Schumer kneecapped Democrats back in March which would have been the better time to vote no for the CR until there were safeguards for our social safety net.
Schumer went on Chris Hayes and revealed his strategy, Krasnov will burn it all down and then we will win elections.
This is the strategy, but at what cost? What does it mean, Krasnov will burn it all down? Millions dying from loss of healthcare? Raising the retirement age for Social security, gutting the SS trust fund? Cutting millions of dollars from Medicaire? Making more work requirements for Medicaid? Passing the Magat healthcare voucher plan which will be a shit sandwich healthcare plan?
The decision that a handful of Senators made was a political decision not a we are going to fight to save our social safety net decision.
the Schumer strategy may work, but I scheduled my 2nd knee replacement before AI tells me I'm too old.
