43. The Senate passed PART of it, but the media is not talking about it!

Originally, $190 million was cut from House Bill. Senate passed $12 mill / yr for 5 years. That's $60 mill.

WHAT THE FUCK HAVE THEY DONE WITH *****OUR***** TAX MONEY???

They also did not include breast & cervical cancer funding, along with a bunch of other stuff.

I know the Dems did the best they could, but this is NOT great news. You'd think so, though, by the hoopla the media circus kicked up, right?

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT THE MEDIA DOES *** NOT *** SAY. THEREIN LIES THE PERTINENT FACTS.
