Not one more taxpayer dime to bail out the (Un)Affordable Care Act

At the risk of Sen. 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 Biden‘s 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.
