      3/ Today, we voted on the most massive budget in U.S. history. It's been misleadingly described as an "Obamacare repeal vote."

      4/ It's actually a budget resolution that proposes adding more than $9 TRILLION to the debt over the next decade.

      5/ Does that extra debt come from repealing Obamacare? No. The budget doesn't even mention Obamacare and doesn't repeal it.

      8/ Partisans in both parties like to describe the vote as an "Obamacare repeal vote" (rather than a budget vote) for obvious reasons.

      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.
