House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared on the Sunday morning shows to offer their respective views on the automatic budget cuts, known as the Sequester. Generally, the Republicans present a united front from specific talking points to express their views, but it appeared that Boehner and McConnell were speaking from different scripts.
While Speaker Boehner bemoaned the spending cuts as being bad for the overall economy, Sen. McConnell seemed to downplay their importance, especially when compared to the overall national debt, which is currently north of $16 Trillion.
