No, that can't be what happened, albaby1.

You yourself said there was no Democratic Counterproposal at all, prior to today.

Nope. The Democrats have been very clear in saying that their objective in fighting over the CR was to get an extension of the ACA subsidies. They've wanted GOP leadership to sit down with them to negotiate the details.

They have never come out with a dollar-specific proposal, as you have suggested. That's why I'm puzzled where you got this from. Presumably you believed that there was a $1.5 trillion demand. Where did that come from?
