Bad news, Sheila, Americans overwhelmingly support the spending cuts by a 2-to-1 margin.
Via Fox News:
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) ranted today on the House floor over the federal budget talks suggesting that Congress should be “snowed out” and not meet until they could reach a better deal on the matter.
She then proposed H.R.900 – Cancel the Sequester Act of 2013 in an effort to eliminate the sequestration.
“This is an ongoing process, an ongoing process to find the right balance or revenue and the right balance of cuts. Let it also be on the record that we’ve cut over a trillion dollars already and I can tell you it’s come out of the backs of poor people. Now let me give you a resounding excitement, breaking news, the DOW hit the highest amount yesterday in point 14,253.77, the highest in history. Wall Street is celebrating while the backs of poor people are being broken; this is not a rule that should pass today. We should remain snowed out – we shouldn’t even be here – snow us out until we can get the right kind of balance.”
