Subject: Re: They need a new clean CR
King Schumer's additions to the clean CR contained far more than the Covid ERA expansion of ACA subsidies.

He has painted himself into a corner.

You are operating under the assumption that this is about rational, reasonable, disputes over resource allocation.

It isn't. It's about the Dems using the suffering of their constituents to get political leverage over Trump and the Republicans.

Maybe there will be some defections amongst the Senate Dems.

But it is far far more likely that the Dems will now UP the ante, not attempt to reasonably compromise.
