Pathetic

This is a farce. $74 billion is a pittance, a token. It's obvious that Democrats are not even a little bit serious about getting spending under control. It's like they're on crack.

Senate Dems reject GOP budget proposal, warn against government shutdown

Setting the stage for another showdown over government spending, top Senate Democrats rejected the House Republicans’ new budget proposal Thursday, but said they were ruling out a government shutdown.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s plan to slash $74 billion from the federal budget “unworkable” and “more draconian than we originally anticipated,” but said he would not consider a government shutdown “under any circumstances.”
