Bolling mocked the notion that Transportation Security Administration officials will delay air travelers for up to six hours due to decreased manpower. “Nothing’s changed,” Bolling said.
“That’ll be an improvement in some airports,” Perino agreed.
Bob Beckel said that the problem with sequestration is that it is an equal cut across the board rather than a series of targeted cuts. Bolling countered by saying that baseline budgeting ensures that the government will have more money to spend this year than they did last even with the sequestration cuts.
