Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the Senate Finance Committee's decision to include his proposal to repeal the Obamacare individual mandate in the tax legislation:
"I'm pleased the Senate Finance Committee has accepted my proposal to repeal the Obamacare individual mandate in the tax legislation. Repealing the mandate pays for more tax cuts for working families and protects them from being fined by the IRS for not being able to afford insurance that Obamacare made unaffordable in the first place. I urge the House to include the mandate repeal in their tax legislation."
Good. If they and the House don't, they can happily return to being the Do-Nothing Minority Party in Both Houses comes the next election, as opposed to being the Feckless, Happy Go Lucky Do-Nothing Majority Party they are this year.
This isn't even 1% of what needs doing by the GOP, but it is non-negotiable with 95% of their voters.
McConnell and Ryan must be dropping litters of kittens over this.
Thank You Senator Cotton.
