here we go again/Jon Kyl predicts $6 trillion in cuts

Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said Monday that Republicans will likely demand cuts to the budget worth $6 trillion over the next decade in exchange for voting to raise the national debt limit.

3. Its a sure bet that the Rethugs won't demand cuts to military or defense spending

or Congressional salaries and benefits, either. The hypocrite pukes will vote themselves raises, while plotting to create legislation meant to slash and eliminate government services and programs designed and intended to assist the poor, disabled, and aged.
