how much money was on the shelf from earlier budget years in the military. and that was actually, it was sequestered two times. once in the current budget year and once some of those monies that were sitting on the shelf in unobligated balances. unspent money. in a plan that republican s have laid out that will come up on the floor later this week. some of that money would be taken off the shelf and used to offset some of these cuts since the pentagon could still spend it in later years. the republicans are moving now to smooth sum of the rough edges by allowing the pentagon to shift money around within their budget by letting the boarder patrol do the same and other agencies to make it more palletable and not on some of the big ticket items like the boarder patrol and fbi. >> i noticed and you wrote in your blog pretty much the budget

cuts the one area not going to be cut is law maker's salary; right? >> this is interesting. they can't be cut. and you can blame that on the constitution of the united states. you can blame it on speaker john boehner. when he was a freshman and came to congress, one of the things he took up was to breath a life into an old amendment unveiled by james madison. supposed to be part of the bill of rights and you cannot change the pay until the next intervening election. that was put on in the 27th amendment recently. you cannot add or subtract from a member's salary except after the next election. these cuts should impact house members and senators. sorry, it's against the constitution. >> i know this was originally created to be really something the republicans would not want to do. and they are saying 50% of these cuts are coming from the military budget.

is that ue? >> that is true, yeah. $42.5 billion from the military. $42.5 from the domestic side. in the end, there's a lot of republicans who simply want to cut the budget and they see this as their best option at this point in time. >> are we going to be stuck with these sequester cuts? >> i don't think these cuts are going to change except maybe around the margins. enforced for a while. i don't see republicans budging one bit on their opposition to taxes. maybe in a longer term plan but not right now. i don't sense any jelly in the knees in republicans right now. >> we could be seeing problems at the airports. i know we've been hearing from janet about problems with long security lines and things like that. >> she said that yesterday and went online and checked at the airport she mentioned and that wasn't the case. there was a lot of republicans who keep
