Jeffries: Democrats are going to offer an amendment to get that self dealing sick provision out… The notion that Republicans would give themselves the ability to rip millions of taxpayer dollars away so they can line their pockets, because these people were insurrectionist sympathizers is insanity.

More fun with Trumpy numbers.
He's floated sending $2,000 checks to every household, "except rich ones," whatever that means, financed by tariff revenues.
It would cost $265 billion. Tariff revenue since Liberation Day has totaled $151 billion.
Bit of a shortfall.

Unpopular take here and I'm prepared for the incoming from angry Democrats.
But if people want to blame somebody for the Democrats not being able to force the Republicans to extend the ACA right now, PART of that blame falls on we the voters.
Because we didn't elect enough Democrats to do it.
