Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R., Texas) said he would be open to giving the president "a certain amount of flexibility" implementing the sequester Monday on "The Kudlow Report:"
LARRY KUDLOW: Let me just ask -- there's a very important point. A very principal point here. Would you give the White House ultra discretion, more flexibility -- flexibility is a big word right now. Would you give the Office of Management and BUdget under Mr. Obama, President Obama, the flexibility to implement these budget cutting sequesters or not? Just in the last 30 seconds.
JEB HENSARLING: Well, he already has a certain amount of flexibility. I'd be open to giving him more flexibility to manage this. But what the president is trying to do is frankly a shell game when he talks about balanced approach. He already has $600 billion in revenue. Where's the $3 in budget savings for every $1 in revenue? All he talks about is revenue.
