The Dems modus operandi is far more gregarious! They routinely propose budget increases and then complain that the Republicans are engaging in cuts when, in fact, the Republicans are simply reducing the proposed increases which have been penciled in by the Dems.
I suspect that the Chamber is calling attention to actual program changes resulting in future budgeted increases being reduced; i.e., not merely reigning in budget proposals.
Isn't this something? We long ago stopped expecting our Senators and Congressmen to act in the national, Constitutional interest. Instead, they will threaten to violate 1st Amendment rights in order to retain their lofty and financially rewarding positions. My gosh, how far we have fallen.
