In the News

Last Tuesday, the left's policies resulted in a government shutdown because they were fighting for healthcare funding for illegal immigrants. No matter what mainstream media or “fact checkers” are telling you, the truth is that the left are specifically demanding to reimpose a nearly $200 billion burden on taxpayers by repealing six provisions from the Working Families Tax Cuts Act that ended healthcare subsidies to illegal immigrants. The left chose illegal healthcare funding policy, over funding for our military.

As a result of leftist politician demands, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has ground to a halt. That leaves families without the ability to get coverage they will desperately need in the midst of a disaster. FEMA has already warned that starting last Wednesday, it cannot properly administer flood insurance policies because it could lose access to funding needed to pay claims. That means millions of Florida families could be left exposed just as the next storm forms in the Atlantic.

It gets worse. Even if we don’t have a hurricane bearing down on us, many people can’t get a mortgage without flood insurance. Now every one of those sales is being held up because leftists are angry we aren’t giving money to illegals.

This is what we're up against in Washington right now with the shutdown.
