I'll stipulate to many of your points and like to add that they are only letting a temporary tax credit expire. Schumer is the one who wrote the bill that let the tax cut expire that passed when Biden was in office and passed with Democrats in majority. Personally, I'm fine with making the tax credit permanent but keep the overall budget the same (cut from elsewhere). If we didn't subsidize half the world, we would have more than enough money to fund single payer healthcare. We really need to cut off the tap to the rest of the world completely and take care of Americans first and only Americans. I'm sure we have more common ground to meet, but we're not going to get there until both sides are honest. The real tragedy is that both sides work against us to steal our treasure.
