38 Why should I care? I wonder what she thinks about the budget. Because frankly, she may be another rabid spender who would just love to raise the annual deficit to 2 Trillion with Obamacare.

U.S. Rep Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)- ACU (American Conservative Union) life-time rating, 13 years = 1.92 (out of 100)
