Congress Wastes Taxpayers' Dollars

In September 2013, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted to defund the Affordable Care Act for the 42nd time. Each of these 42 votes cost taxpayers $1.45 million for a running total of $61,000,000. The money could have gone to help Americans in need. Instead, the GOP is holding the American people hostage for ideological reasons. If cutting government spending is a priority for Republicans, the money they have wasted shows the hypocrisy of the party.

Each time the GOP wastes our money in this way, this poster will be updated.
