Once again the ‘People’s House’ has answered the will of the American people by passing responsible, commonsense legislation to deliver Americans what they’ve persistently demanded from their representatives: a fully functioning government, and protection from the president’s job-killing health care law. Now the Senate and President Obama have a duty to put their pride aside and do what is right for the entire nation. Now is the time for the interests of millions of hardworking taxpayers and families to trump petty politics and stubborn priorities. There is simply no good reason for the president to let the government shut down just so that Obamacare – a law most Americans reject – can carry on as planned. In addition to keeping the government open, I was also proud to join my colleagues this evening in acting to guarantee that our brave men and women in uniform are fully paid no matter what happens in the days ahead. Support for our troops should never be a casualty of this president’s stubbornness. We also took action to permanently repeal the senseless medical device tax that Obamacare will impose on manufacturers and importers of life-saving products. This dangerous tax will kill jobs and put patients at risk and should be stopped in its tracks immediately.
