MI HR0214

Urges the U.S. Senate to immediately pass a clean continuing resolution to reopen the federal government following a shutdown exceeding 35 days, the longest in U.S. history

Criticizes Senate Democrats, including Michigan Senators Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, for blocking 14 attempts to approve a clean continuing resolution

Highlights disruptions caused by the shutdown to food assistance programs, airport safety, Medicare, Social Security, and Veterans Affairs benefits affecting Michigan residents

Claims a Democratic counterproposal would add $1.5 trillion to the national debt over coming decades through healthcare subsidies for non-citizens, expanded Medicaid eligibility, and extended COVID-19-era tax credits

Requests copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Majority and Minority Leaders of the U.S. Senate and Michigan's U.S. Senators
