Senate Democrats target sequesters, demand tax hikes, more spending

Emboldened by winning the shutdown showdown over homeland security, and poised to triumph on raising the debt limit, Senate Democrats set their sights Thursday on the budget sequesters, demanding that Republicans hike taxes and raise spending.

It was a shot across the bow for Republican budget writers, who are set to unveil their proposals next week, which are expected to further slash spending and balance the budget in 10 years — slowing the growth of runaway national debt that currently tops $18 trillion.

Senate Democrats insisted that keeping the automatic spending cuts would jeopardize the economic recovery, hurt the middle class and weaken the U.S. military. And they warned Republicans that President Obama will reject any budget sent to him that does not increase spending on both defense and domestic programs.

    Boy, this is starting to look just like the time right after the 'Contract With America' Republican victory, when they cam into office hat-in-hand, almost apologizing for winning, then melted down, worrying about hurting somebody's feelings.
    When are these wusses gonna get in the game?
    The DEMOCRATS are still running the show!!

    Obama and the DemocRATS came up with the sequester idea. They would not compromise so they got what they wanted.
    Now they want to blame the Republicans. No wonder the Republicans wussies always cave with such short memories.
    If they cave in on this you might as well never vote or just mark anything on the ballot. This will again show how big a wussy the Republicans are

    Harry and Nancy are still in charge - even after the voters handed the responsibility to Mitch and John....(we could have 'not' reelected those two and still held the majority - and we would still be much better off as a country).

    Too bad their medical plans don't include 'spinal augmentation'!
