its a helluva tradeoff. Raise healthcare costs for millions of Americans or feed hungry citizens. So a group of Democrats caved and joined the opposition to re open the government. They could have fought on with no hope of a change of position of the opposition. More federal employees would not be paid and air traffic could be slowed to a stop. SNAP benefits that feed children would not be renewed and kids would go hungry. The tradeoff will triple healthcare costs for some and eliminated healthcare for many. This is not good.
I have a daughter that is a federal employee that has been working without pay since the beginning of this. I cannot imagine working for free. Frankly, pay is the reason we do it at all. Quite frankly, they need the money for housing, food and gas in their cars.
This is not a good solution. It is not equitable. I am not happy about it. But it lives in the reality we created.
New photos taken this weekend of the fam. They turned out great. Katey, my planner, setup the whole thing.
Happy Veterans Day to her and her brother Jon along with all who served.; thats it.
