Besides her comments on Congress' reading of the constitution ("thunder" dismissed), she started talking about how the deficit needed to be cut by the Congress, which means she must not have read the news:
Critics say the GOP has come up with no specific ways to meet its goal of cutting $100 billion this fiscal year, a goal many Republicans concede privately is probably unattainable, and would do little to dent the deficit. The first vote on spending cuts, due Thursday, would slice $35 million from the House's own budget.
In addition, if Republicans ultimately succeed in repealing the sweeping health care law passed last year — which no one expects, given the Democrats' control of the Senate and President Barack Obama's veto pen — that would add to the deficit, since the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the measure would save $143 billion during the coming decade.
There's also remarks by Paul Ryan on the Today Show. I thought the "leaders" of the Tea Party would certainly have prepared answers, since spending cuts were their platform. Janine has lost a lot of credibility and was a real disappointment. She had nothing of substance to say.
