Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s office put out a press release this morning repeating Vice President Joe Biden’s announcement that Democrats and congressional Republicans have agreed in principle to a number for the budget cuts. The Reid statement says the cuts will be “$73 billion below the President’s budget proposal.”
But Reid can’t resist taking a few shots at the Republican-passed HR 1’s cuts and the more conservative members of the conference.”I appreciate Speaker Boehner’s participation in these talks,” Reid said. “I’m sure it’s not easy trying to negotiate with the Tea Party screaming in his right ear.”
