'There will be "a huge backlash... in the streets': Pramila and AOC on if White House cuts spending

Democrat Pramila Jayapal was being interviewed about the possibility of the White House agreeing to spending cuts and she suggested there would be a 'huge backlash' in politics, but also 'in the streets' as if she's suggesting that people will protest or even become violent. It appears that the White House is willing to cut spending, but the GOP denied a deal a few days ago - likely because of what else may have been in it. If you know anything about politics, then you know deals are made that often include a lot of smaller deals on the side that must be part of the bigger deal, it's like they don't want to rule on individual things, so they lump things together and it's probably a really bad idea to do that.

According to Axios, this may be exactly why Republicans turned it down:

A House Republican source cited the more than $400 billion increase in discretionary spending over the last decade, compounded by trillions more in pandemic-era stimulus spending, as reasons to decrease spending. Republicans also want to increase funding for defense, which would be frozen under the White House's proposal along with non-defense spending.

Now it seems like some Democrats are going against Joe Biden and the White House. So as usual, people don't agree on things and even the Democrats can't agree with each other. Biden wants to put this on Republicans, but Republicans won't agree on this if defense spending is cut or frozen because Republicans want America safe by means of strong military, if its ever needed. Meanwhile, Biden tried to throw it back on Republicans when he said this the other day:

Well, good evening, everyone.  Before turning to the important work we accomplished here at the G7, I want to take a few minutes addressing the budget negotiations that I’m heading back home to — to deal with.

Before I left for this trip, I met with all four congressional leaders, and we agreed the only way to move forward was on a bipartisan agreement.

And we’ve — I’ve done my part.  We put forward a proposal that cuts spending by more than a trillion dollars, and on top of the nearly $3 trillion in deficit reduction that I previously proposed through the combination of spending cuts and new revenues.

Now it’s time for the other side to move their — from their extreme positions, because much of what they’ve already proposed is simply, quite frankly, unacceptable.
