@repjustinamash@marhearn@presssec still don't get why cuts are devastating but we need cuts. Political dogma, not economics -
@Walters_Ego@marhearn@presssec They're not devastating. -
@repjustinamash@marhearn@presssec so you favor letting the sequester go through? Then why complain that it's there? -
@Walters_Ego@marhearn Let me clarify: Yes. I'm not. -
@repjustinamash@marhearn you said you didn't vote for it? -
@Walters_Ego@marhearn I didn't. It wasn't close to sufficient to justify raising debt ceiling by more than $2T. -
@repjustinamash@marhearn you do understand debt ceiling merely allows the treasury to pay $ already allocated by Congress?no add to deficit -
@Walters_Ego@marhearn No. That's false but routinely asserted. - 1 more reply
