Reid Sequester Bill Is Unserious
Before the recess, and in the midst of the FAA debate, Majority Leader Reid introduced and placed on the Senate calendar S. 788, a bill to cancel the sequester. Instead of a serious debate about priorities, this bill proposes a fake offset – the war spending gimmick – for the higher spending that results from canceling the sequester. Unfortunately, Senator Reid has misled the American people in his attempts to portray his bill as common sense and a responsible way to budget. It is neither.
