Yes, Defund Obamacare
Gene Schwimmer * American Thinker
The GOP division over whether to defund ObamaCare can be summarized in two quotes: This, from Texas senator Ted Cruz:
We can de-fund Obamacare if Republican leaders who tell their constituents they’re conservative stand up and act like they’re conservative.
And in opposition, Ramesh Ponnuru:
[I]f Republicans stay firm in this demand [to defund Obamacare], the result will be either a government shutdown or a partial shutdown combined with a debt default.
Either would be highly unpopular, and each party would blame the other. The public, however, would almost certainly blame Republicans.
And which blame, according to Ponnuru and those in his camp, would lead to an electoral debacle for Republicans in the 2014 midterm elections. Why? Because that’s what happened to Republicans when they “shut down the government” in 1995.
Or did it? In a recent Washington Post op-ed, Newt Gingrich, who was at the epicenter of the ’95 shutdown, cut through the revisionist fog to remind us that “The facts are exactly the opposite.”
the ultimate result [of the '95 shutdown] was the first four consecutive balanced budgets since the 1920s, paying off more than $450 billion in federal debt. We also overhauled welfare — the most successful and popular entitlement reform of our lifetime — strengthened Medicare and enacted the first tax cut in 16 years. It was this tax cut that boosted economic growth and allowed us to balance the budget four years earlier than projected. During my years as speaker, more than 8.4 million new jobs were created, reducing the national unemployment rate from 5.6 percent to 4.3 percent.
