They are voting to shut down the government. They are
voting not to reauthorize CHIP. They are voting to tax the American
people by putting taxes on their healthcare plans and putting taxes on
medical devices. They are missing the opportunity to help us with
missile defense in a very dangerous era. And they are throwing away the
time while negotiations on the topics they are concerned about are
underway--negotiations on the budget and negotiations on DACA. So why my friends want to do this at this particular point is beyond
me. But I would suggest it is not likely to work.
