      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.

          Obama blew 32 trillion dollars - mostly borrowed from China. Yet, he hates Russia. Both cannot be trusted.
