"I can't vote for anything that incorporates spending that would give us a deficit of a trillion and a half," Senator Rand Paul said, according to WaPo's Felicia Somnez. "I think that's too much."
Both resolutions are indeed simply cosmetic, the Republican cut is $61 billion, the Democratic proposed cuts are only $5 billion. Senator Paul has his own proposal that would cut $500 billion from the budget.
Find it absolutely disgusting that they are slashing every program that benefits average Americans, while yelling that it is a necessary sacrifice. Meanwhile, the rich were extended tax breaks that would have given this country vast amounts of money to work with. Ultimately¬, the poor and middle class have to sacrifice and suffer so that the rich can save a few dollars. Sounds messed up to me.
