Are u prepared 2 go 2 your constituents and explain that you are voting for 1.5 Trillion in Medicaid/care cuts to fund tax cuts to top 1%?

None of this going 2 help deficit which u claim 2 care about. Nope. Just tax cuts for wealthy. And u pretend its about spending 2 sell it.

-
not to mention the likely bailout for Flint's Waterworld.

and a simple understanding that NYC is an expensive entry point to the USA for a global economy.

sort of like subsidizing farmers...

Bottom line your tweet was silly.
