Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) throwing a comb at another staffer, I must point out that she may have accidentally given the shutdown game away for congressional Democrats. They have held the federal government hostage for nearly a month now over Republicans refusal to extend former President Joe Bidens enhanced, COVID-19-era subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. In an Oct. 20 X post, Klobuchar lamented that without taxpayers shelling out another $350 billion to $450 billion on extending the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, early retirees like Bill & Shelly will see their health insurance premiums increase nearly 300% from $42 to $1,700 per month. Who are Bill and Shelly? According to a CNBC puff piece on the early retirees, Shelly said she has not worked full-time since 2015, when she was about 50 years old. And before that, she was only intermittently employed in various roles at banks and then in state employment. Bill said he retired as a civil engineer in 2022, at the age of about 58. He worked in the local and state government for 31 years, and according to pubic records, was earning at least $181,000 by 2016. Despite bringing in a modified gross adjusted income of $136,000 last year, Bill and Shelly received some $15,000 in enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies each year. -- November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look forward to America being great again. We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended. Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much. Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump. Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer liberal democrat donors.
