Tone deaf much? Today, House Republicans released their new budget. After facing massive backlash last year over their budget that even the Wall Street Journal says “essentially ends Medicare” – one would think Washington Republicans would have learned their lesson and stopped trying to turn Medicare over to private insurance companies.

According to the Hill, Murkowski said that if she had to vote again, she’d vote against the Blunt Amendment, and that she has “never had a vote I’ve taken where I have felt that… Read More »
