Senator Ernst says Democrats oppose rescissions enough to threaten shutdown

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst says hours before votes to advances a rescissions package of nine billion dollars in Federal spending cuts that saving tax money is such a crazy concept in Washington that Democrats are threatening to shut down the entire government if this bill passes, which says a lot about the other side's priorities when they are willing to take hostage funding for veterans and senior citizens to prevent nine billion dollars in unnecessary waste fraud and abuse from being trimmed from seven trillion dollar annual budget, while the interest the nation was paying on debt alone is costing nearly three billion dollars every single day, and if we are ever going to get serious about debt crisis Congress needs to pass a recession's bill like this every single week because with national debt now exceeding 37 trillion dollars, the real question we should be asking is not why is government spending now being scrutinized.
