POLICITAL POSTURING sucks! When a Politician like Rand Paul makes a symbolic move of a 2% cut across the board, he has no intent of it passing. Every slimy politician has a pet goat that they intend to save and they have a reason to oppose the legislation just enough to allow their buddies who are in close races to vote for it.
If he intended to legislate he would pick one agency to destroy and demonize. He would investigate, freeze and destroy one agency at a time.

That’s been tried before too.
Every agency becomes a “life and death” issue that can’t be given up.
The idea here was to not threaten to kill any “necessary” agency and just tighten the government’s belt a little.
