parenthood and cut spending for the national institutes of health by $1.6 billion and job training by $2 billion. senator mccaskill does the house bill stand a chance in the senate or is it dead on arrival? >> i wouldn't call it dead. i think the democrats in the senate and the white house are committed to making cuts. i think cuts have to happen. the question is what are the priorities here. are we going to take a weed whacker to education funds in this country while we let millionle areas continue to deduct interest on their second home. in that doesn't seem to be the right priority. i hope everyone is willing to compromise. i hope everyone is going to sit down and work this out. i'm little worried that the republicans in the house are so anxious to threaten shutting down the government. >> chris: but if you say that u you are willing to cut, all right, and there is certainly an argument to be made about what you are going to cut. they want to cut $61 billion from current spending.
