If they want cuts, make them at least 50% allotted their elected districts. And....this is another Obama era failing.......publicize exactly what Republicans are adding or stripping out. Let the people know, even specifically, for instance, that the new bridge in their community is being cut...because of Republicans. Make a list of everything that the public COULD have had, but in order to make it a bipartisan bill, Democrats had to accept cutting these benefits to the public at Republican's insistence.
