As the federal government shut down today, Representative David Price (D-NC) issued the following statement saying Republicans were irresponsible and reckless to risk the economy to advance their political agenda. Republicans have held funding for the government hostage to their demands for changes in the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. It is irresponsible and reckless for House Republicans to put the economy at risk in order to advance their political agenda. Holding government funding hostage with the goal of denying millions of Americans affordable health care is not worthy of a serious governing party. The American people want House Republicans to get with it. Funding the government is not a concession' for Members of Congress; it's the basic job description outlined in the Constitution. The government shutdown illustrates for every American that the hallmark of the Tea Party Republican House continues to be ironclad opposition to reasonable solutions." # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
