Moms for America Statement on Democrats’ Government Shutdown Threat

Washington, D.C. – Today, Moms for America® is strongly against the Democrats in Washington that are threatening to shut down the government unless their demands are met, but the issues they are holding hostage are not in the best interests of American families.

Democrats are insisting on:

1. Expanding Obamacare subsidies – locking families into a failing system rather than offering real, affordable choices.
2. Reversing Medicaid reforms – undoing needed changes that encourage responsibility and sustainability.
3. Blocking spending rescissions – demanding that Washington continue wasteful spending instead of tightening its belt like hardworking families are forced to do every day.
4. Political posturing over meetings and negotiations – using government funding as leverage to force their healthcare agenda.

These are not reasons to shut down the government. They are partisan wish-list items that do nothing to make life better for moms, dads, and children struggling under record prices and economic uncertainty.

What’s worse, every shutdown wastes even more taxpayer dollars. It costs billions to close down government operations and then restart them, money that could be better spent easing burdens on families. Moms across America know you don’t spend more just to make a point.

Government shutdowns harm families, veterans, small businesses, and communities. Instead of holding the country hostage to expand bureaucracy, Congress should focus on relief for families, restoring affordability, and protecting our freedoms.

Moms for America stands firmly against these reckless demands and calls on leaders in Washington to reject them. America’s moms deserve policies that strengthen families, not threats, shutdowns, and wasted taxpayer money
