To spend or not spend is for the House to decide. To fund or not to fund ObamaCare is their "right to choose," and based on the enormous cost and the amount of waste involved in ObamaCare, and our current debt, not funding it would reassert the fiscal function they were entrusted with.
Benjamin Franklin would be proud of Republican efforts to defund ObamaCare.
If the House minority has the power to defund any lawful policy based on their political interests, then why hold elections and go through the pretense of passing bills through the house and senate? We should just have the House minority dictate what policies the nation will implement.
Sequestration Is the Bipartisan Law of the Land. Sequestration was agreed to in a bipartisan manner. Obamacare was forced through by Democrats using reconciliation as a means of getting around Republican opposition.
Now would the founding fathers applaud the Democrats for Democrats ensured the GOP had no seat at the table for Obamacare.

Yet it passed the House, Senate, White House, and Supreme Court. Care to tell me where it matters what whiny Republicans think of ACA if it legally and constitutionally passed each of those steps?
I have a hard time imagining John Adams and Thomas Jefferson spending 5 minutes with the likes of Ted Cruz and Michelle Bachmann. I think they would be mortified with the tasteless, anti-intellectual path the GOP has taken. To think 200 years later we would be led by such buffoons would be very depressing for them. They would not take a high view of professional bull**** artists like Rush Limbaugh or Beck either, nor of their fawning audiences.
I think they would like Barack Obama. He is a statesman and a thinking man with vision and an understanding of history, like them.
The left shut down the government for this many days over a bill that already passed and was approved by the Supreme Court as constitutional? When did that happen?
Try to keep up.
I responded to a poster, It may have been you, who was complaining that the House Majority Party changed the rules, as if it had NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
No, they ruled that ACA is a tax, thus it is constitutional.
No, they ruled that the TAX is Constitutional.
