In January, Republicans proposed a $1.1 trillion cap for the 2011 fiscal year to fight "Washington's voracious appetite for spending." Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) reminded them of the fact on the Senate floor Thursday, saying it's true there is "$1.1 trillion in this bill" but "that's exactly the amount that they asked for."
