Sen. Whitehouse Bashes "Fantasy Land" GOP Budget Proposal on Senate Floor

September 25 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, delivers remarks on the Senate floor approving of the deal to avoid a government shutdown and bashing a budget proposal by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) which would slash funding for Medicare, veterans' programs, border security, national parks, law enforcement, transportation safety, affordable housing, education, and Medicaid.

Thank you, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, of The Great State of Rhode Island.
Keep calling out the nonsense!
This is what Bravery looks like in our Home Of The Brave.

Senator Whitehouse Giant And Patriot To The Citizens Of The USA!

[@timd4524]

The fact that the Republicans use this as extortion is sickening.

[@SaberToothBicycle]

These Republican shenanigans will cost them their reelection bids in competitive districts coast to coast.

[@simplytruth9729]

I only hope. Please, please vote them out.

[@royblack7305]

Even without this episode being a factor I'm sure gonna be voting Blue strait down the ballot!...

[@dgustafson61]

I absolutely hope so. Maga Rethuglicans need to be voted out

[@justsayin...2784]

Injecting clear and well articulated reality into the fog of deceptive practices.
If only we had MORE of this in BOTH houses of Congress.
It leaves but one question:
Why NOT?
Is this really TOO much to ask of our elected representatives?

A man with a memory of bipartisan laws passed. Our senator for all Americans ❤

How can anyone vote Republican?

[@jeffandersen7397]

we need more Sheldon Whitehouse !

[@simplytruth9729]

Why aren't there more Senators like Whitehouse in government on both sides of the aisle? There has been more bipartisanship in years past. It seems like it is all about power and money. sickening Whatever happened to karma?

Thank you Senator! Now how do you get 47% of the voters to understand what you are talking about....

[@ssc4153]

I lived a long time....I've seen presidents and congress people come and go. I've seen laws created, and repealed. One thing I do know for sure....as long as I have lived I have NEVER seen any republican care about the people of this country, the poor and the working poor. They haven't changed, and they never will. I'm a democrat and I will die a democrat. Our Constitution and democracy is what built this country, and I will NEVER betray my country or the Constitution! Thank you Senator Whitehouse for being an angel in disguise!

[@Kiwi-ez2nn]

Vote Blue!!! 💙

[@amberowens3244]

Just get Bill Clinton back in again. Solved 👍

[@Anthony-em1rc]

I don't refer to it as the wealthy and corporate tax reform. I call it the wealthy and corporate welfare program .

[@th2u88f]

[@dennisreed3382]
