Yesterday the House voted to remove proposed Medicare funding of TAA displaced worker program. Pay-for now related to tax exemption violations and such, not Medicare!

Today, Democrats are on the floor of the House haranguing colleagues to kill TAA to save Medicare funding!

An example of the level of disingenuous manipulative BS!
