The Republican party is the chief cause of govt. inaction for crucial issues.

The final round... wow, this debate went by fast. However, in this last round, I want to get back more onto the title statement, or this may just drag on into an Obamacare debate. I'm honestly not sure why your family's premiums went from $50 to $180. The average premium increase is 49% for people who don't get employer insurance or are on medicaid/care [1] This shouldn't happen unless your parents don't get get employer health insurance. If your parents don't want new health insurance, then they don't have to buy Obamacare, however, it is a good alternative for many people. Honestly, it's cheap, the aspects themselves are relatively popular (as shown in previous rounds). In conclusion, I finally prove my assertions on the unfounded and wasteful Republican argument on Obamacare. I want to draw more attention to the many things that Republicans have blocked with negative consequences on this country. In 2012, the Republicans blocked Obama's initiative to increase job growth by giving tax breaks to companies that bring jobs back into the country, and eliminating tax breaks for those that outsource- a very attractive incentive package that might have truly helped. Why? They refused to allow it unless health care reforms were stopped and tax breaks were introduced [2]. Those things have absolutely nothing to do with helping the employment rate. It was nothing but blackmail, and a blackmail that has kept our employment growth rate miserable. Another motion they blocked was the bill that would have provided better healthcare to our veterans as well as education programs to allow them to live normal lives with normal jobs. The GOP refused to allow it to pass. Why is that? They wouldn't let it pass until another round of sanctions for Iran was approved- when we already have virtually total sanctions on them. [3] This really proves where their priorities are. Helping the people who fought for us isn't their concern, what they're concerned about is only politics- trying to use their welfare as blackmail for irrelevant agendas. They're also trying to block any sort of minimum wage increase. It would really help our struggling poor to be able to live better lives and support their families. This was a very popular bill- 86% of Democrats, 62% of Independents and 46% of Republicans were in favor of a wage hike. But no- they could put aside politics for the common good, and the working poor will continue to toil endlessly. The Republicans fail to realize that this is necessary for building a middle class. There is no excuse for something that the American people truly need. [4] And I know what you'll say- that most people dislike Obamacare as well. The difference is that people don't understand Obamacare until it affects them, whereas people who are perpetually in poverty or dependent on food stamps will definitely know that they really need a wage increase. That takes me to my final point-why are Republicans winning the Senate? As I've already shown in the above rounds, the president's popularity is tied to Congress's performance. When the GOP congressmen/representatives irrationally block all Democrat bills, it creates the illusion that the Democratic president isn't doing his job, and therefore Democrats are less popular. This is also helped by the GOP representatives, Fox and their ridiculous rhetoric of lies about Obama, lies about the Affordable Care Act, and lies about the Democratic ideals. So conclude my arguments. Since I leave my opponent with the last word, I'd like to ask him to see if he can counter my claims above and all my claims. Admittedly the both of us spent too much time on Obamacare and not enough on other topics. I bear him no ill-will, and I don't hate Republicans as a whole. I thoroughly enjoyed this debate. In conclusion- For the reasons stated above, I have proved that the Republican attack on Obamacare is unfounded, explained the reason why little in Congress is done, and provided numerous examples of how Republican attacks on Democrat bills are both factually unfounded, and harmful to the country.
