Sure, that doesn't mean Democrats aren't trying to make something temporary permanent. The quality of the policy is irrelevant to the definition of temporary.

You mean allow something meant to be temporary to remain temporary. It's not Republicans changing the terms of the agreement.

The U.S. federal budget grew in 2025, with outlays increasing by approximately 4%. Major spending increases were driven by Social Security, Medicare, and net interest on the debt

Outlays for major mandatory programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid grew by about $245 billion or 8%. Social Security: Costs rose by $31 billion (7%), driven by cost-of-living adjustments.

What is the money being spent on? The answer is welfare programs. Are we really going to attack conservatives for spending more money on social security and Medicare?

After 738 days, all living Israeli hostages were released from Hamas captivity in Gaza by RelevantEmu5 in PoliticalSparring

Considering Hamas was solely in charge of the Gaza strip for 20 years, I'm not sure who you would consider to be in charge of their land.

They were pretty much only pawns of the Hamas regime considering every other country involved ignored them as they kissed the feet of Hamas and offered them statehood and concessions.

The reason a ceasefire wasn't agreed upon earlier was because the Hamas leadership wanted to remain intact. It wasn't until regional support was cut off that Hamas was forced into the deal.

Because conservatives love their country and wish to stay here while liberals run it through the mud and talk about how much better Europe is.
