On Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's "Situation Room," Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) reacted to a CNN poll showing that most Americans, including most independents, and 45% of Democrats think the debt ceiling should only be raised if it is tied to spending cuts by stating that people really only want to cut spending "In the abstract" and "saying that you want to cut spending is a little bit like saying, do you want to eat ice cream? Yes, I want to eat ice cream, but guess what, I do that for a long period of time, there's going to be some implications." And cuts that aren't to Medicare, Social Security, and defense aren't meaningful.
