Both sides are just playing to their constituencies.
Schumer says the Dems want $33 billion. If my math serves me correctly ($33/3690) that works out to $0.009 reduction per $1.00 spent. I think many people hear $33 billion and think, "Wow, they're really tightening their belts." The reality is it's less than a penny per dollar in cuts.
