On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show: Every single Democrat and 12 Republicans in the Senate voted to cut pensions of disabled combat veterans with the passage of the budget bill. We were told they would be exempt, but it was quietly eliminated from the bill. Sen. Jeff Sessions wanted to introduce an amendment that would have paid for restoring the pension cuts by eliminating a loophole that allows illegal immigrants to get child tax credits, but Sen. Harry Reid wouldn’t allow it to come up for a vote. This bill is not the best Republicans could do. The Republican Senators and Congressman who voted for this are in a political war with conservatives. Finally, Jenny Beth Martin, President and co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, calls in to discuss the attacks on the Tea Party by Speaker John Boehner, the Chamber of Commerce and other Republicans.
