"A government shutdown falls on the President's lack of leadership. I mean problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means the president is WEAK!"

Oh, I see! Democrats are refusing to open the government because they're demanding healthcare for "illegal aliens"? Right. And I suppose gravity's just a communist plot to keep patriots from floating away.

The reality's boring, but here it is: Dems want to extend ACA subsidies so millions of American citizens don't get slammed with higher premiums. Republicans could agree today, reopen the government tomorrow, and move on.

But instead, they spin a cartoon narrative about Democrats holding the country hostage for illegal aliens' doctor visits. It's a lie with good marketing and apparently some folks can't tell the difference between a fact sheet and a Facebook meme.

Swallow it.

So, why does the greatest Country on the planet seem to be unable to provide healthcare to its citizens?

Is this the "Golden Age" that Pres Trump says the Country is in?

Not sure why they don't shut down private jets first.

Or at least private jet hubs.

That's what I would start with, then commercial operations.

Pretty simple really.

Because Elite Democrats took it upon themselves to ignore the other party and ram through a PoS legislation that only helped the insurance companies.

Now when the SHTF Pelosi says... I am outta here.
