Rand Paul ratchets his proposed spending cuts down to $200B

The Hill reports:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has ratcheted down his proposal to cut $500 billion from the federal budget for fiscal year 2011.

Paul on Tuesday introduced an amendment on the Senate floor to cut $200 billion over the next six-and-a-half months.

Paul said a House-passed proposal to cut $61 billion from the budget “doesn’t touch the problem.”
How many Senators will go for this?
