This Republican default on our debt would:
-Kill about 7,000 jobs in NV-04 alone. Nationwide, a default could kill more than 7 million jobs.
-Jeopardize Social Security payments for 87,000 families in NV-04.
-Put health benefits at risk for 305,000 people in NV-04 who rely on Medicare, Medicaid, or Veterans Affairs health coverage.
Here in Nevada, a debt default will threaten the healthcare of 309,000 people, strip food assistance from 13,000 women & children, eliminate preschool & child care for 1,800 kids, & more. This is about paying our bills. Doing that minimum can't be considered a compromise.
