“As chairman Ryan understands, it is virtually impossible to fix failed entitlements once they are in place. The only serious strategy is to stop implementation. We are seeking to shut down a bad health care takeover that no one seems to think is working, including the President and congressional Democrats,” FreedomWorks president and CEO Matt Kibbe told The Daily Caller.
“We are not asking for a government shutdown, just a serious commitment from Republicans to do what they said they would do,” Kibbe said.
“What it is in fact is a partial, temporary shutdown because Social Security checks continue to flow, the military continues to be paid, the national debt continues to be serviced. If there’s no Continuing Resolution in effect, then what happens is non-essential government functions are temporarily suspended. Now that’s inconvenient, but we actually see this every single week on the weekends,” Sen. Cruz said in an interview.
