to summarize this for those that don't follow the theatre....
democrats got this healthcare subsidy approved with 51 votes in 2021 and again in 2022. Each time it was passed with a temporary provision so the OCB can obfuscate the true cost to taxpayers. . What is this game? The CBO provided a 10 year cost of these programs in the reconciliation process- but since the legislation only was set for a year or three - the 10 year cost is a low figure compared to what it would be for 10 full years.
since democrats have nowhere close to 51 votes to extend it again, they will threaten to not fund government unless they again get a temporary surplus that they refuse to expire - so it is temporary in name only - they demand it to be permanent "or else" as we see right now!
So why not just stop playing the games and allow the budget office to give a real estimate on this permanent expense?
It comes down to democrats once again being dishonest lying pieces of shit
explain why this summary is not accurate please
