Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) denied on Sunday that Democrats are trying to reverse the automatic spending cuts known as sequestration as part of a deal to reopen the government.
Rand Paul:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a close ally of Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), told CNN’s “State of the Union” that Democrats want to break the caps set by the 2011 Budget Control Act.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) offered a plan last week that would fund the government for six months at an annualized rate of $986 billion. But that number would be subject to sequestration and conform to the $967 billion cap implemented by the Budget Control Act. Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.) told Collins on the Saturday floor Saturday that her proposal was unacceptable because it locked in sequestration.
That would make Reid the liar. Nothing new, he is an Undemocrat from Nevada. If Patty Murray wants to spend her state into poverty, welcome aboard, just talks to Diane Feinstein, California's 1/5 Senator, she knows how to do it.
