As a member of the Budget Committee, is that just bluster to you, or how seriously do you take it . I certainly dont think my republican colleagues would go along with that type of intimidation. There are many people who believe in the first amendment. Im hopeful that on the Budget Committee i will be able to convince republicans and democrats not to do that. Of course i disagree with that. Any of the president s tweets, that type of intimidation messages. On the other hand, theres a possible funding hit on obamacare, the Affordable Care act. The republicans have talked about repealing that. California gets about 15 bil
