Ellison to GOP Rep.: Don't Whine About Sequester After Forcing it By Threat of Default

"Well, Tom, the problem with saying that this is the president's idea is you voted for the Budget Control Act, I voted against it," Ellison noted. "We wouldn't ever have been talking about the Budget Control Act but for your party refused to negotiate on the debt ceiling, something that has been routinely increased as the country needed it."

"You used that occasion in 2011 -- August -- to basically say, we're going to default the country's obligations or you're going to give us dramatic spending cuts. That's how we got to the Budget Control Act."

 "We don't have a presidential proposal," Republican  Tom Cole opined. "I don't think you speak for the president." 

Republican Tom Cole from Oklahoma is a penis. A real Tea Bagging, asshole.
