cut medicare and medicaid. >> here is mitch mcconnell on the senate floor today. >> the president's goal isn't to solve our problem but ignore them for another year which will insure they get worse. once again, the president is shirking his responsibility to lead by using this budget to divide us. >> senator, is voting on the payroll tax cut separate from the extension of the unemployment insurance, that is a mistake in. >> i don't think it should be separate, ed. you have two huge issues, clearly i'm not a great fan of the payroll tax holiday, but the middle class needs a tax break but at the same time we cannot forget that long term unemployment in this country is very, very high, and we also need to make sure we don't cut drastically the reimbursement rate for doctors who serve medicare patients. >> back to the budget for a moment, i have to say i thought it would have been a bigger number now that we will be winding down.
