Ed Royce: "Obamacare is a 2 trillion dollar entitlement program"

Dear Friends,
Last year, despite our objections, despite the warnings from economists regarding the sustainability of this program, and despite the overwhelming opposition from the American people – the Democratic Congress passed one of the most intrusive bills this nation has ever seen.
Obamacare is a 2 trillion dollar entitlement program that is "paid for" by higher taxes and budgetary gimmicks. This government takeover of healthcare is an example of the reckless spending and burdensome regulations coming from Washington.
The assertion that this law will somehow cut our budget deficit is proof that logic does not always prevail in Washington, DC.
Just like past entitlement programs, this one will likely be far more costly than previously projected. As a result, our budget deficit will widen and our dependence on China and Japan to finance our debt will continue to grow.
That is why we took an important step and repealed this 2 trillion dollar fiscal train wreck. Now we can begin work on market-based solutions that will actually lower healthcare costs.  

Sincerely,
Ed

Royce Introduces the Government Reform Act

Rep. Royce introduced legislation that will set up a commission to eliminate waste in the government.  With a growing federal budget, stimulus packages, and government financed bailouts we’ve seen a massive shift towards more government, which has resulted in trillion dollar deficits.  Not only is Washington’s spending irresponsible it is unsustainable.  Moving forward we have got to eliminate wasteful spending and duplicative programs to get our economy back on track.  Click here to read more about Royce's legislation.
