Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State the Union” that there are “much better ways” to enact sequestration cuts but that they will take effect without any new revenues.

“Let me be very clear,” he said. “These spending cuts are going to go through on March 1. Taxes are off the table. … The Republican Party is not in any way going to trade tax increases for spending cuts.”
