I'm not trying to let the Repubs off the hook. They are definitely part of the problem of Congress letting the Executive branch have more power. But I think the Dems are causing the shutdown to keep going.
The health premium subsidies they are holding out for are the enhanced subsidies put in place during the pandemic. A family of four making under $120,000/year is still going to get subsidies. Seems like the Dems are holding out for people making big money and shouldn't be closing down the government for.
As for inflation, sure, if you shop at ritzy stores like Whole Foods or New Seasons market, you are paying big bucks, but if you shop at WinCo in Portland things aren't bad.
Seems like most Dems and Repubs and the media, too, aren't getting out and talking to everyday people.
