Rep. Eric Cantor can't explain to either Rachel Maddow or Lawrence O'Donnell what the Republicans would cut to balance the budget and pay for the Bush tax cuts he wants to see extended other than to say they're going to reduce "discretionary spending to '08 levels".

He didn't seem to happy with Lawrence O'Donnell pushing him about how he and John Boehner were going to respond when they get forced to either face the wrath of the "tea party", a.k.a. their right wing base when they're forced to make the choice between raising the debt ceiling or crashing the economy.
