Granted, a great deal of this is ideologically driven but the two-fer political nature of the move is not to be missed.

said it's because they want spending cuts inserted in the bill. They've been complaining about NO SPENDING CUTS all morning on Twitter. I imagine to programs benefiting the poor and needy. I don't think Cantor reasons. He's an idealogue.

ending programs for needy, poor and elderly and laughing at the rest of us because their districts will never throw them out and they know it.
