I'm hoping that this is just a bluff. I can't imagine that even the Republicans would be willing to vote for this. I would think it is political suicide.

They said she will vote against President's budget if it is brought to the Senate for a vote.

I said to the assistant if the Senator sees the President can she tell him how mad he has made other Democrats with this proposal and how wrong it is, and the lady laughed and said, "Oh I am sure she plans on telling him how upset it has made her constituents."

They are all Repubs. They will never vote for anything Obama proposes. Hell, they didn't cut SS even back when they held both houses and had W advocating for privatization. So I'm not worried. They fully expect to let Obama sink himself and the Democrats with this crap.

I have little enough use for your worthless Bush clone ass as it is now.
Go ahead and commit political suicide if you want to.
