as things stand, this money expires next year. those rage moms you talked about are going to be pretty pissed, i would say, if that money drys up in the middle of an election year. it would be very bad for democrats, i would have to think, given how much this has cut child poverty so far. there's also the issue of aca subsidies. democrats have wrestled with the republicans, with the courts, for voters for years and years. they want to set the subsidy boost to expire and risk future republican congress refusing to extend them. these are the questions that democrats will have to grapple with. because in order to extend these programs permanently, they have to pay for them and live with the political hit of that higher price tag, alicia. >> i love that wherever sahil tells me something is a sleeper issue, because it's always something we inevitably start talking about three weeks later. i want to keep talking about the rage moms. to me, it distills this fundamental question, which is that you have issues like the debt ceiling which i think to a lot of voters seems esoteric. yes, it may seem like a good way
