Republicans who want to shut the down the federal government rather than provide $500 million in funding to Planned Parenthood insist that their party won't be punished for having the courage of its anti-abortion convictions.
They say the millions of Americans inconvenienced by the closing of national parks and delays of services (not to mentioned missed paychecks for federal workers) won't blame Republicans for refusing to pass a federal funding bill that contains money for the women's health care services provider.
Instead, the theory goes, voters will blame the Democratic president, who plans to veto the bill if it doesn't include money for Planned Parenthood. (Bloomberg Philanthropies provides financial support for the group.)
“On the Planned Parenthood issue, the people who are threatening a shutdown is Barack Obama and his allies in the Senate. ... The Republicans are going to shut down the government? No, we're not.
We are in support of funding the government fully, just not giving any more money to this one organization,” Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio, a Florida senator, said on Sean Hannity's radio show last week. “They're the ones shutting it down.”
there is one of two things gong on here, they make a fraudulent claim focused on 3% of what they object to threaten to shut down the gov't again this time in denial of the 97% of services that PP provides for men and women if Dems don't go along with them last time if was if he didn't repeal ObamaCares.
so they either think we are to dense to see what they are doing ape crap crazy or they are indeed the party of stupid these particular ones on the third tire stupidest. they never learn it's do it again regardless to previous proven failure as Americans aren't all party to that party of stupid. 60+ attempts to repeal ObamaCares far far beyond insanity.
they do the dirt and then try to sweep it under our rug. recognize their last attempt to hostage your healthcare cost billions to the economy they say Pres. has made worse and is too slow, when you keep piling on that which you did with new obstructions than yeah it will slow things down, but that is their plan so what the fuss????
Here’s a breakdown of some of the economic cost by our calculations:
About $3.1 billion in lost government services, according to the research firm IHS
$152 million per day in lost travel spending, according to the U.S. Travel Association
$76 million per day lost because of National Parks being shut down, according to the National Park Service
$217 million per day in lost federal and contractor wages in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area alone.
