McCarthy (Majority Whip) and Cantor (Majority Leader) both voted with Dems to block the addt’l $22M in cuts.
WTF!
Still trying to find roll call vote info & stumbled across this nugget:
Idaho Republican Mike Simpson, a senior member of the Appropriations committee, defended the level of the cuts in the overall bill and said the committee’s approach to look at each agency separately was preferable to across the board cuts.
“This goes too far,” Simpson said.
$22 billion goes too far? We’re screwed.
