Representative David Price (D-NC) gave the following statement for the record today as he prepared to vote against a Continuing Resolution authored by House Republicans. The Republican bill sets up a government shutdown crisis by defunding the Affordable Care Act. House Republicans are threatening to shut down the government unless the law is defunded. "Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this poorly conceived, politically charged, and economically disastrous Continuing Resolution before us. "With a few hours left for legislative work before the end of the fiscal year, not one of the twelve funding bills required to keep the government open has been enacted into law. In fact, a number of bills have never even been brought before the Appropriations Committee for debate. Even the initial short-term continuing resolution had to be pulled from the floor because of Republican infighting. "My colleagues, the appropriations processthat hallmark of Congress's constitutional authority and wellspring of our power to conduct oversight and set national prioritiesis on life support and in danger of total collapse. "Unfortunately, this bill is yet another example of the complete abdication of our Committee's constitutional responsibility, as we have allowed fringe members of this body to craft a bill that stands no chance of becoming law. "Let me repeat that in case there is any confusionthe bill before us now has absolutely no chance of being enactedzero. "Therefore, the only reasonable conclusion to draw is that the Republican majority is intent on once again taking us to the brink of shutdownall because of the zealot-like opposition in their ranks to improving health care access for millions of Americans. "A government shutdown, which this bill invites, will hamper our economic recovery, deny benefits to millions of Americans, and once again compromise this institution and its core functions. "I urge my colleagues to reject this ideologically-driven CR." # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
