Once the committee comes up with the cuts, its recommendations must be approved by the House and the Senate before Dec. 23. A failure to pass the cuts would trigger the $1.2 trillion of automatic spending cuts.

Yes, but as politicians, they will say that they had no choice and that they had to pass it it but the cuts were decided by the committee. When they campaign they will say the cuts in the specific programs weren't their fault. You cannot see that?
