Rep. Allen West: Schumer, Reid ‘Have Dug Their Heels In’ Don’t Want To Hear Budget Solutions
Republican Congressman Allen West appeared with Greta Van Susteren last night to discuss the possibility of a government shutdown. While West suggested there is enough blame to go around amongst politicians of both parties for the fiscal crisis we are in, he singled out some Senate Democrats as “definitely being obstructionist in this process.”
West suggested:
“Mr. Schumer, Mr. Reid and Mr. Durbin, I think that they have dug their heels in and they don’t want to hear any type of solutions. And you have to also ask yourself who put us in this position with fiscal irresponsible policies – did not come up with a budget in the 111th Congress – but yet they continue to stonewall it and prevent us from moving forward.”
Greta also congratulated West for introducing a bill to eliminate waste in the Defense Department that passed unanimously and will save 35 million dollars in next year’s budget. Although it doesn’t seem like West’s willingness to talk tough here will earn him unanimous support on the larger budget debate.
