Adoniah @Adoniah (7513) • United States 1 Mar 13

laglen Actually that cut is in more spending. They will have their previous budgets, they can only grow it 2% less. The rhetoric is ridiculous and I am glad the Republicans called his bluff. Now maybe more people will see the flat out lies he spews.
