Pay-Go worked before and implemented could have great effect again. The other bill is a typical knee-jerk hog-tying approach - It limits all agency to 1% increase. What if one area has an increased need that would call for a larger increase but in another area you can find a few percentage points of money to cut? Pelosi is willing to back what Obama is proposing and with the wise, imo, caveat of at least reining in certain areas of military spending (the neverending cost overruns that contractors never fail to have). But Obama is proposing a smarter way forward than Sessions and Senator McC, even if their way sounds pretty and makes for good soundbites. Excellent point.
