by Ashleigh Fields
Charlamagne Tha God urged Senate Democrats to reopen the government, citing citizens dire needs amid the federal shuttering.
The radio host said during a Wednesday segment of The Breakfast Club that the party needs to abandon the fight to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies to ensure that federal workers receive pay.
Dems, you had a great night last night, Charlamagne said referring to the partys Tuesday election wins.
The premiums have already gone up. They are set for the year, he added. Its time to move on. We appreciate the fight, the valiant effort, but come on, man, people got rent due. People got childcare to pay for, light bills, car notes.

(8,834 posts)Also they are wrong, the premium will be calculated in January with the subsidies or lack thereof included. Right now we just have sticker shock estimates.
pays real attention to a guy who labels himself..."tha god" Seriously people, most of what he says could be in someone's stand up routine.........

(2,584 posts)Dems did propose a bill that would cleanly fund the government as the GOP wanted if the health care subsidies got funded for 1 year. The GOP shot it down. At this point the only side presenting ideas is our side
