TIFWIW



It's not just Dems to worry about here.

While I initially thought the bill was fine (and BTW: to be honest it doesn't look much different from the first one outside of what was done involving PBMs/China, only significant difference is the debt ceiling), it doesn't look as if it's happening.

And you take a look at this and really should be wondering if whether you're going to see many changes at all out of Trump v2.0.

The American Relief Act, 2025 is a comprehensive legislative draft focused on providing continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2025 and addressing various public needs through disaster relief, health, agriculture, and defense measures. Here is a summary of its key provisions:

  1. Continuing Appropriations (Division A):
    • Extends government funding through March 14, 2025.
    • Allocates funds for emergency planning, geostationary satellite acquisition, and justice-related technological upgrades.
    • Appropriates funds for military needs, such as shipbuilding and defense system upgrades.
  2. Disaster Relief (Division B):
    • Provides $30.78 billion for agricultural disaster relief, including assistance for crop, livestock, and timber losses caused by natural disasters in 2023 and 2024.
    • Allocates additional funds for the Emergency Watershed Protection and Emergency Forest Restoration Programs to support disaster recovery efforts.
    • Supports NOAA's disaster response for hurricanes, wildfires, and other emergencies, including the acquisition of hurricane hunter aircraft.
  3. Health and Medicare (Division C):
    • Extends funding for community health centers and special diabetes programs.
    • Continues Medicare-dependent hospital and telehealth flexibilities.
    • Authorizes funding for acute hospital care at home and coverage of specific oral antiviral drugs under Medicare.
  4. Agriculture (Division D):
    • Extends funding for agricultural programs and disaster assistance for rural areas.
    • Adjusts payment caps for economic relief to address the needs of smaller states and territories.
  5. Other Provisions (Division E):
    • Strengthens cybersecurity protections and extends provisions for fentanyl-related substance control.
    • Temporarily raises the debt limit to avoid financial disruption.
    • Enhances student loan servicing and eligibility determination processes.
  6. Emergency Designations:
    • Many provisions are designated as emergency requirements under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, highlighting their urgency and necessity.
This act aims to sustain critical government operations while addressing immediate challenges related to public health, natural disasters, and national security. Let me know if you would like a deeper dive into specific sections or funding allocations.

If the Senate doesn't pass it, government shutdown it is. What was in the old bill that died, thankfully, was a literal Schumer/Democrat wishlist of more wasteful crap, including global economic forum funding, a 40% pay raise for Congress, millions to research some absolute useless crap. One huge 1500 page last minute cram job of useless pork.

He knows this, and was the reason he supported it.

The nitty gritty of my post was missed by you.

The main point is that some Republicans don't support this bill either and you can't afford to lose that many votes.

Maybe something changes tomorrow, but as of now, I'd say this bill is dead in the House, and would question if it can even get out of rules, because there are 2 no votes on rules.

Yea, the 10 nos would tank it. hopefully the nos are primaried.
 
Everybody's saying Democrats going to win in 26 because of this probably can't even remember the exact year of the last government shutdown. It's all just propaganda and will be forgotten about in a few months.

Not this time. This shutdown may last 6 months or more and if it does the US is done.
