Senator Ted Cruz - Statement After Senate Ends Shutdown lyrics

No one should be surprised that this is the response of the Washington establishment. The American people rose up and spoke with an overwhelming voice and at least at this stage Washington isn't listening to them. The House listened but the Senate has not. Unfortunately, the Senate chose not to follow the House and in particular, we saw real division among Senate Republicans. That was unfortunate. I would point out that had Senate Republicans united and supported House Republicans, the outcome of this I believe would've been very, very different. I want to commend the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives has taken a bold stance, listening to the American people, but unfortunately, the United States Senate has refused to do likewise. The United States Senate has stayed with the traditional approach of the Washington establishment of maintaining the status quo and doing nothing to respond to the suffering that ObamaCare is causing millions of Americans. President Obama promised the American people, ObamaCare would lower your health insurance premiums. I would venture to say, nearly every person across this country has seen exactly the opposite happen, has seen premiums going up and up, and everyone who clicks on ObamaCare and sees the premiums, sees the premiums going up and up and up.
