Right here in Florida, we all know higher than anybody that hurricane season is the worst time for Washington’s political video games. But Democrats are as soon as once more exhibiting they’re keen to place houses and lives at risk to advance their radical liberal agenda.
On Tuesday, Democrats voted to shut down the federal authorities as a result of they have been preventing for healthcare funding for unlawful immigrants. It doesn’t matter what mainstream media or “truth checkers” are telling you, the reality is that the Democrats are particularly demanding to reimpose a virtually $200 billion burden on taxpayers by repealing six provisions from the Working Households Tax Cuts Act that ended healthcare subsidies to unlawful immigrants. Democrats selected unlawful healthcare funding coverage, pushed by their far-left donors, over funding for our navy.
Because of Democrat calls for, the Nationwide Flood Insurance coverage Program (NFIP) has floor to a halt. That leaves households with out the power to get protection they’ll desperately want within the midst of a catastrophe. FEMA has already warned that beginning final Wednesday, it can’t correctly administer flood insurance coverage insurance policies as a result of it might lose entry to funding wanted to pay claims. Which means tens of millions of Florida households could possibly be left uncovered simply as the subsequent storm types within the Atlantic.
It will get worse. Even when we don’t have a hurricane bearing down on us, many individuals can’t get a mortgage with out flood insurance coverage. Now each a type of gross sales is being held up as a result of Democrats are offended we aren’t giving cash to illegals.
Republicans have acted responsibly. We handed a clear, nonpartisan persevering with decision (CR) to maintain the federal government open. Republicans voted to guard flood insurance coverage, Social Safety, veterans’ advantages and meals help for households. Democrats have supported such a laws earlier than. Actually, it’s the similar sort of short-term measure Democrats supported 13 occasions beneath Joe Biden.
However now they refuse to again it as a result of it doesn’t embrace a $1.5 trillion spending spree to appease their far-left donors. The Democrats are shutting down the federal government for $350 billion that would embrace prolonged COVID funding, welfare for prison aliens, and nearly half a billion for radical liberal information retailers. The hypocrisy is obvious. Democrats themselves have claimed shutdowns have been “harmful,” “disastrous,” and “self-inflicted hurt” to seniors, veterans, and households. Properly, for Florida households it positively is. Democrats are actually holding the protection of our houses hostage throughout hurricane season to bankroll their partisan donors’ want listing.
Nothing within the Republican-passed clear CR is partisan, but nearly each Democrat voted towards it. CRs have been acceptable beneath Biden however now that Republicans are in cost, it seems to be like Democrats would moderately play politics than defend their constituents.
There may be numerous misinformation being pushed by the Democrats surrounding their objection to the invoice. Well being care packages for Individuals stay absolutely funded at present ranges beneath the Republican plan. But Democrats need you to imagine they’re doing this to guard well being care. In actuality, Democrats are demanding backed well being take care of unlawful immigrants and simply voted towards a historic $50 billion funding in rural well being care handed by Republicans within the Working Households Tax Lower Act. In different phrases, they need to pay for unlawful immigrants however punish rural America.
The identical falsehood extends to meals help. Republicans put ahead a measure that ensures packages like WIC, which offer meals help to ladies, infants, and youngsters, proceed uninterrupted. If these packages lapse, will probably be as a result of Democrats prioritize giveaways to unlawful immigrants and an extension of wasteful COVID-era spending over a funding invoice that places American households first. The Democrats are keen to take meals off the tables of moms and younger kids to appease their special-interest lobbyists.
What are Democrats demanding earlier than they’ll vote to reopen the federal government? Properly, Democrats have turn into the international prison aliens’ primary advocate..They need to spend tens of millions on international LGBTQ+ consciousness campaigns (no matter which means). They need billions for local weather and DEI tasks abroad. Democrats need a whole lot of tens of millions to prop up liberal propaganda retailers like NPR and PBS. They need backed well being take care of unlawful immigrants who’re inflicting our hospitals to overflow whereas we foot the invoice.
As I see it, the Democrats are extra apprehensive in regards to the calls for of their donors than the wants of Floridians. And Floridians are my prime precedence. Floridians deserve peace of thoughts, not political theater. You deserve confidence that your authorities will stand with you in occasions of disaster, not abandon you to attain political factors. Whereas Republicans put Individuals first, Democrats have made it clear that you’ll all the time come second to unlawful aliens and liberal pet tasks.
I and all the Republican celebration will proceed to combat to verify residents of Florida’s Sixth Congressional District are by no means left behind by petty politics in Washington.
Tremendous, a Brevard County Republican, was elected in April to Florida to characterize U.S. Home District 6, which reaches from St. Augustine Seashore to South Daytona and consists of Ocala and Sanford.
