WASHINGTON: -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex) says that he is expecting a vote Wednesday on his amendment to defund Obamacare until economic growth is restored, adding that he is willing to risk a government shutdown if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and President Barack Obama stand in the way.
This is ridiculous. You don't get to hold the government hostage like that. That's what terrorists do. The GOP lost the election. The American people want affordable healthcare. That's the way they voted. To hold them hostage at the point of the gun that is the for-profit medical industry massive profit margins, and threaten their government, should really disqualify him from public.
Additionally, we do have economic growth. We have restored growth with our Democratic public policy. It had to be restored because his team put us into complete economic and fiscal meltdown with the same public policy he's advocating for right now. He's being deceptive by implying otherwise.
Last, he's pushing public policy that history has already proven to be a disaster for the country.
Quite a guy...
