1/ Confused about what the House voted on today? You're not alone. I hope you'll find this explanation (in the following tweets) helpful.

7/ But these instructions can be included in ANY budget. It's not necessary to pass this particular budget, a.k.a. Worst. Budget. Ever.
-
8/ Partisans in both parties like to describe the vote as an "Obamacare repeal vote" (rather than a budget vote) for obvious reasons.
-
9/ Republicans don't want their voters to know that they voted for the most massive budget ever.
-
10/ Democrats want their voters to think it's all about stopping Republicans from repealing Obamacare.
-
11/ Reporters are fixated on the sexy angle, which is the misleading angle that most of the politicians are talking about: Obamacare.
-
12/ So, my no vote does not mean I oppose repealing Obamacare (sorry, Democrats); that's not what today's vote was really about.
-
13/ My no vote was about standing up for limited govt and fighting for the next generation. It was about stopping a never-balanced budget.
-
14/ We can't afford more spending and more debt, regardless of whether it's demanded by a Democratic president or Republican president. ###

More to the point IMO... How does anyone think they can justify voting for this, or any of the current Republican agenda?

That's not specifics. Are the drivers spending or are the projections based on static analysis of tax cuts?
