Sep 30, 2013
Press Release
WASHINGTON – Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) – a leading conservative and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee – made the following comments after the House of Representatives passed a third bill to fund the government and avoid a government shutdown.
“Tonight, the House voted for a third time to fund the government and avoid a shutdown. Tonight, for a third time, the House has invited Washington Democrats to negotiate with us. At this point, it all comes down to two questions. Under Obamacare, should bosses receive a special deal their workers don’t? Should Members of Congress receive a special deal that every other American doesn’t? These are questions Senator Reid and President Obama must answer for the American people. It really is that simple.”
