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.
-
-
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. ###

Why is the CBO barred from scoring the cost of a Obamacare repeal? Seems like the same budget gimmickry you've been against
