The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
