General Discussion

Jeez Chuck, you went through all that horseshit, messed with people's paychecks and SNAP bennies, as part of a grand struggle to maintain ACA coverage affordability, and you didn't even get a single one of your primary demands met? Maybe Sen. Thune keeps his word and maybe you get to vote on the ACA funding later, maybe there's even enough votes to get cloture, maybe there's enough votes to pass the bill, and maybe F47 deigns to sign it. Then more $$$ floods in to the coffers of allocated funds that the Grand Rescissionist gets to redistribute as he pleases because you dropped the whole thing about requiring the money be spent as described. Good job, surely your name will go down in history alongside Neville Chamberlain as one of the all-time great bargainers. Your mediocrity in the face of national crisis will be long-remembered, sung of by bards, nobles, and commoners alike. Congratulations on a match well-thrown.
