This Republican default on our debt would:

-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.

-Increase lifetime mortgage costs for the typical homeowner in Nevada by $61,000.

-Raise the costs of a new car loan for the typical American by $800.

-Threaten the retirement savings of 96,700 people near retirement in NV-04, eliminating $20,000 from the typical retirement portfolio.
