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.
or are you going to need an extension of a resolution? i think we are serious about making cuts and negotiating and we can sit down and begin working on that. we may need to extend slightly the current situation for a few days to get a compromise that works for the american people. keep about mind, chris, that the cuts have come in a very small part of the budget. give tom coburn credit. as a member of the fiscal commission he stepped up along with democrats durbin and conrad and said, you know, we have got to look at the entire budget not just 18% of the budget. we have got to look at the whole shabang and i hope that we do this in a comprehensive way, not just take a weed whacker to the discretionary spending budget while letting the pentagon off scott free. chris: you said we will probably need an extense o extf the cr to work out a deal.
