How can a Congressman from a state with such desperately poor people say he voted against this bill because it didn't hurt people enough? I am always baffled that these people so easily get reelected, that makes me even more depressed.

but it looks to me like Oldham and Shelby County are part of his district. Oldham County is where some of the wealthiest people in the State of Kentucky live probably more horse farms there then any place other then Lexington. There aren't many poor people there. I don't know about the rest of the Counties in his district, but Massie is still an asshole.

and by far the highest of any Congressional District in the state. The MHI for Massie's district is very close to the MHI for the nation as a whole.

She had stated yesterday that she would vote no unless there were another trillion in cuts. We've been calling her and telling her to holdout for more and keep voting no.
Counter intelligence right there lol.
