The House has proposed a continuing resolution that defunds Obamacare, but it doesn’t call for the shutdown of the federal government.
Truth be told, the federal government never shuts down. Even in 1995, the last time our federal government was “shutdown”, the checks were still cut for welfare, unemployment, Social Security, etc. Did anything bad really happen as a result of the shutdown?
The answer is no, and it even led to the eventual budgets where receipts exceeded disbursements in the late 1990s. The only problem was the media blamed the Republicans, and the establishment Republicans thought they lost an election over it.
True, the Republicans did lose some seats in 1996, but so what?
Time to push the Republicans to do whatever it takes to get rid of Obamacare. This is not the fundamental change in America we need.
