Good reason exists for Dems’ ‘whining’
I have seen rants that indicate an opinion that Democrats spend a lot of time “whining.” Is any attention paid by those ranters to what the “whining” is all about?
The most pressing one currently is extension of the Affordable Care Act. My nephew, a single father to a college student and a high school student, had coverage for $373. In 2026, the same coverage is due to be $1,613.23. For the people who are voting on this, an increase of over $1,200 a month wouldn’t really affect their pocketbooks. But for real people dealing with ordinary income, that is a stretch, and for way too many, a bridge too far.
There has been ample opportunity over the years to deal with this, and yet here we are. Why don’t people understand that a healthy population is essential to our workforce and a functioning society?
Another issue which there has been ample opportunity to address, and which contributes to differing opinions, is immigration. Republican President George W. Bush attempted to present a plan. His own party did not support it. We refuse the wisdom that “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation,” when nothing will be resolved without civility and cooperation.
