Horsford: My amendment tonight would redirect that $40 billion bailout from Argentina… we would use those funds to extend the premium tax credits for two years.

@BlazeLuck The “currency exchange” is for $20 Billion not $40B and according to @SecScottBessent the deal has made the US a profit. Reality…That $20 billion wouldn’t cover one month of what the ACA costs the taxpayer.

You know damn well Republicans would rather burn that money than give people affordable Healthcare.

I wonder how many Republicans would rather that money go to their constituents than Argentina. I would bet it’s enough to pass legislation if Mike Johnson had the balls to bring it to a vote. Trump would never sign it because he doesn’t care what Republicans or his voters want.

We’ve already used over a TRILLION tax payer dollars to prop up the sh*t policy that Obamacare is. Isn’t that enough?!?

Do you even know what the Currency swap with Argentina was about? It's an investment that will pay dividends. It was a trade, not a gift. There will be no extra funds if you stop the currency swap.

Looks like the Democrats are stepping up, putting America first by wanting to redirect that $40 billion meant for Argentina straight into helping folks here at home with healthcare.

Hey, @RepHorsford, hire better staff. The Treasury has lent only $20 billion to Argentina by means of a “currency swap.” It can’t be undone. News reports say Treasury already sold the Argentine pesos they received. Even if you could screw Argentina, $20 billion would get you about 7 or 8 months of continued ACA premium subsidies for higher-earning households.

These people are fucking idiots. That was a currency swap not "aid" or a "loan" to Argentina. These liars will say anything to keep their ignorant sycophants screaming with TDS.

Makes sense — every dollar we spend should lift people here at home. Healthcare, education, housing — that’s real national strength.

republicans don’t want to help the american people

Actually the money given to Argentina does not leave the country— it goes to $hedgefund managers in New York who hold Argentinian $debt. Oh, yeah, those money managers are in trump’s $billionaires club.

This won't pass. But I appreciate it being put in an amendment

Nope. Wrong again. According to a recent estimate from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), extending the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies—specifically the premium tax credits—through December 31, 2026, would cost the federal government approximately $31 billion in 2026. You are a financial ignoramous.

I’m okay with this plan. 🤷🏻‍♀️

25th amendment now.

There was no bailout — please vote ignorant and uneducated members of Congress out.

There is no redirect you dope. It wasn’t a bailout. And we are making money from the exchange

Lmfao… who’s paying for these bots

How can a sitting congressman NOT KNOW the structure of the package for Argentina?? It’s a $20billion currency swap with interest which means the US actually makes money in the long term. And the other $20 is not even coming from the Govt. It’s private sector loans and deals. 🤦‍♀️

How can a Representative be so ignorant of laws and congressional acts already passed? Legal Authority and Purpose: The ESF is designated for specific financial stabilization purposes, not for domestic policy initiatives like healthcare funding. Redirecting these funds would require a change in the legal authority governing the ESF, which is not within the direct purview of a House representative's amendment alone.

Is your average American going to enter into a currency swap arrangement with the United States Government and Federal Reserve & pay it all back later? Do Democrats really think we're all that dumb? No wonder the United States is $38 TRILLION in Debt!

MAGA = Make Argentina Great Again

I really like this guy. He’s so smart Also @jamie_raskin you are the best.

@roybelly This is actually too “America first” for Republicans to get behind, sadly.

Now do that with the Ukraine money y’all wasted

There was no bailout. Do these members of Congress that stupid or they just priming the pump of the low IQ voter?

How about we redirect all the BILLIONS given to other countries for ridiculous programs through USAID. Let's get that money back...start there.

I wonder how many Republicans would rather that money go to their constituents than Argentina. I would bet it’s enough to pass legislation if Mike Johnson had the balls to bring it to a vote. Trump would never sign it because he doesn’t care what Republicans or his voters want.

low quality rage bait lmao

This is funny because the america first Republicans that hate poor people and are against the ACA. Theu would rather Argentina keep the money instead of giving it to Americans. NEVER believe them when they say " why aren't we spending the money we send to Israel on america"

Fuck yes!!!!!!!!!!!

. DEMOCRATS ARE AMERICA FIRST .

All these Republicans Reps. crying for their peoples suffering is BS If they cared they release their SNAP & fix ACA Hypocrites.The Chairwoman &Reps. should be Removed from committee for voting a Bill through with a Corrupt Provision In it. Corrupt!. @RepJeffries @RepMcGovern
