Obamacare is at the center of this Shakedown

Not a single Republican voted for Obamacare, which Democrats forced through the U.S. Senate on Christmas Eve in 2009.

When Obamacare could not survive on its own, Democrats forced taxpayers to subsidize it.

And who picked 2025 as the year to “expire” Obamacare subsidies?

You guessed it: Democrats.

Now Democrats have shut down the government, demanding Republicans fund Obamacare, including the loopholes that pay for abortions and mutilating LGBTQ surgeries.

Democrats are also demanding we fund DEI in foreign nations and illegals, and that we cease building the border wall and add 1.5 TRILLION dollars to the budget.

Send your faxes to Congress to resist the Shakedown.

From the beginning, Democrats were honest about Obamacare being a gateway to socialized, “single-payer,” government-run medicine. Even a year before Obamacare passed, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) admitted, “If we get a good public option, it could lead to single payer [program, and this is] the best way to reach single payer.”

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) admitted, Obamacare is “absolutely … a step toward a single-payer system.”

The socialist influence in the Democrat Party has been steadily growing. “I’ve got a lot of Democratic colleagues that think this is a mistake,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). “They think it is hurting the country. But they are scared of the socialist wing of the Democrat party that is in control ... and they are in control.”

Conservative talker Erick Erickson explains that now “Democrats are refusing to vote for the same continuing resolution authored by and submitted by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer just last year. The resolution is the same, and Democrats are now killing what they themselves wrote last year.”

Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wants 1.5 TRILLION dollars. To understand the magnitude of what Schumer is demanding ... to spend 1.5 trillion dollars, you would have to spend 1 million dollars EVERY hour for 171 years!

But the question is: W ll Republicans become fatigued and cave to the Schumer Shakedown? Send as many of your faxes as possible to Congress to oppose these radical demands.

Moments before President Obama signed Obamacare into law he bragged: “This legislation will also lower costs … for the federal government, reducing our deficit by over $1 trillion in the next two decades. It is paid for. It is fiscally responsible.” That was a lie!

Only 17 months later, the S&P downgraded the United States’ credit rating for the first time ever, from “AAA” to an “AA+.” The U.S. has kept this lower rating ever since, and other credit agencies have since followed suit.

We are at a tipping point, and Obamacare is largely responsible.

• Avik Roy, a health policy analyst and policy adviser, said: Obamacare is “increasing the cost of U.S. health coverage, [that] in turn, will worsen ... the nation’s grave long-term fiscal instability, a problem primarily driven by government spending on health insurance and health care.”
• The House Education & the Workforce Committee summarizes the work of Charles Blahous, an economist and former Social Security/Medicare trustee: Obamacare adds “between $340 and $527 billion to the federal deficit over the next ten years” and “an estimated $1.16 to $1.24 trillion in new government spending.” Obamacare “increases a federal commitment to health care spending that was already unsustainable.”

Democrats took “unsustainable,” made it worse, and now they want to make it permanent. This is the battle we face.

Democrats thought they could take down Trump, control Congress, and force 1.5 trillion dollars of extra, unnecessary spending down our throats to pay for abortions, mutilating surgeries for children, illegals, and DEI in foreign nations. Urge Congress with as many faxes as possible to stand against this outrageous Shakedown.
