Sen. Harkin is such a boss. Here he explains why the Republican proposal to cut the Prevention and Wellness Fund which funds necessary investments to keep Americans healthy (including vaccinations, etc.) instead of closing a tax loophole for the ultra-wealthy (the Democratic proposal) is a fiscal disaster.

Italian?” he responded. (It’s Italian, and she confirmed Romney had her vote.) As Romney began to leave the company after his hourlong visit, he looked at the Ellen Boss, the girlfriend of the company’s general counsel, Cory Hussey. “Nice,” Romney said as she blushed. “Nice choice. Just like me,” a [...]
