>> A handful of Republican U.S. Senators are saying
they won't pass a big budget bill that spends more than
it saves. Leading the charge is Wisconsin Senator Ron
Johnson, who has vowed to oppose the measure in his
chamber unless more is done to rein in spending on
assistance programs. Senator Tammy Baldwin agrees. The
measure adds too much to the federal deficit, but places
the blame on tax cuts. >> You got to do the work.
We're not doing the work. We're exempting most
spending. Taking a at a couple of programs. Afraid
of the political blowback? The lies being told about
Medicaid, for example? Oh, we can't touch that. And
that's why we're $37 trillion in debt. There's no
amount of pressure that President Trump can apply to
me that exceeds the pressure I feel the promises I made
to stop mortgaging our kids future.
>> I believe that the impact that the bill would have as
passed by the House would be devastating on the most
vulnerable communities, and mightily to the deficit and
debt. And again, why? So that they can pay for more
tax cuts for the very wealthy and big corporations.
