Democrats are holding our government hostage, an entirely preventable crisis, all to fund their radical liberal wishlist. But behind the slogans and spin, they’re deceiving millions of Americans. One thing that separates the wheat from the chaff is simple: cold hard facts — and they don’t lie. I want to break down the true cost of Democrat chaos for you. Keep in mind, these figures are only the tip of the iceberg:
- America is losing $400 million daily in furloughed Americans’ wages.
- Democrats want to spend nearly $200 BILLION on healthcare for illegal aliens. That is enough to fund the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
- A month-long shutdown would lead to more than 43,000 Americans becoming unemployed.
- The shutdown is expected to cost Main Street America $30 MILLION.
- A $15 billion loss in our GDP.
- Texas is losing around $1.4 billion each week in GDP.
The longer Democrats drag this out, the longer the list of consequences will grow, and the bigger the burden will be on taxpayers. The American people deserve better. 70% of Americans oppose a government shutdown, yet Democrats refuse to face reality. It’s no secret their party has been out of touch for some time, but when you ignore what 70% of Americans think, there is a serious problem.
And now we know why. This week, reports revealed that a left-wing activist group bankrolled by the Soros family is pressuring Senate Democrats to block government funding. Maybe it’s time Democrats ask themselves who they really work for — the Soros family or the American people.
