Wasserman Schultz Accuses Republicans of Giving ‘Bureaucrats’ Power to Cut Spending

DWS: GOP Is Trying To “Abdicate their Responsibility” to Faceless Bureaucrats (HotAir)

Do you think maybe the White House is regretting that “we have no flexibility with which to implement these across-the-board cuts” talking point a little bit? (‘Er, no, we didn’t mean that we actually wanted more flexibility, we just meant that as a talking point with which to dissuade sequestration altogether so we could keep charging ahead with hiking taxes.)

Here to explain away why those “dramatic, indiscriminate, and across the board cuts” (of the president’s invention, I might add) are all Republicans’ fault, Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz immediately dodges Mitchell’s question on why the president is meeting with Congressional leaders for the first time, the day after the cuts are supposed to hit.
