The shutdown boils down to one thing: Obamacare subsidies.

Democrats won’t reopen gov’t just to let premiums triple. Republicans control both chambers—they could end this today.

Cutting off SNAP for 40M Americans before the holidays isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty. #Shutdown

Republican fair booth myths v. Reality
October 12, 2025 at 11:36 AM
At the Cleveland County Fair, our Republican counterparts handed out crudely reproduced pamphlets full of fantasies, wishful thinking, and political myths about Democrats.

Let’s separate myth from reality.

Myth 1: Government is the problem.
Reality: Government is how free people solve problems—building schools, roads, and justice for all.

$14/hour doesn’t go far in 2025.

Cleveland County rent? $950–$1,200.
Gas, groceries, bills? All up.
Wages? Still stuck in 2005.

People aren’t lazy—they’re underpaid.
It’s not a labor shortage. It’s a math problem.
