Senate Democrats sequestration replacement plan (no sign of chained CPI)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/14/sequester-cuts-senate-democrats_n_2687872.html

WASHINGTON -- Senate Democrats have settled on a final plan to replace 10 months' worth of sequestration cuts, aides said on Thursday.

The plan, called the American Family Economic Protection Act, pinpoints $120 billion of savings, spit evenly between cuts and revenues, that would replace the sequestration-designated cuts to defense and domestic spending until the end of December.

on the HP - there are an awful lot of GOPT trolls. Amazing they would rather have the country go bankrupt and ruined rather than work with the man in the WH. Actually it is not amazing, it is downright sickening.
