But guess what? In the budget Lynch called "tough and responsible" and all but 20 Democrats voted for, Democrats wrote in $100 million in unspecified cuts department heads will have to make. They did exactly what they decried as irresponsible.

Now we know they never were against unspecified cuts. They were against only Republican ones.
