Last week the House of Representatives passed HR 1, to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year. Included in this bill were several budget cutting proposals. Some congressmen voted for every spending cut, while others voted for some or no cuts. Heritage Foundation has compiled a list of congressmen and their voting record on these cuts. This list can be found here.
It is refreshing to see that Rokita from Indiana District 4 voted for every spending cut. It is not surprising to note that there are some democrats who could not find any budget cut worth supporting.
From the article:
95 Members (all Democrats) showed no appetite to cut spending by voting against every single spending cut. Another 47 (Democrats) voted against all but one of the cuts.
In other words, 73% (142 out of 193) of the Democratic caucus could only find one or less spending cut they could support.
What planet do they live on?
