On the recordDecember 12, 2013
During last night's town hall by telephone with constituents, I conducted a poll and asked what should be done first to tackle our national debt. Fifty-one percent of participants want Congress to repeal ObamaCare. ObamaCare will add to our national debt as higher premiums and taxes are placing burdens on families and destroying jobs. Rachel from West Columbia says: ObamaCare is still very costly for me and my family. At times we have difficulty purchasing food for our family because of my insurance costs. Robert from Aiken spent time on the Web site and found he ``would be paying about two-thirds more for a much worse insurance plan.'' 2013 should be remembered as the year further revealing the failure and threat of Big Government, with the ObamaCare train wreck, continuing of the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting, NSA spying, and DOJ-FBI eavesdropping on media. Congress should act, passing limited government reforms that encourage job creation and expand freedom. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
