LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Kentucky's most vulnerable residents will be hurt by federal spending cuts touching a broad range of programs, the state's only Democratic congressman said Friday.
U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth offered a counterpoint to the state's most powerful Republican, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said recently that the $85 billion in automatic budget cuts were modest and didn't pose a risk to a national economy still recovering from a deep downturn.
