Tim Kaine actually said...

"the case for austerity in a time of economic weakness is simply wrong."

"We all know sequestration was never intended to be implemented, so we should be focused on replacing it, not trying to make an unworkable policy just a bit less bad."

"Until then, I think it would be very difficult to explain a plan to middle-class Americans that asks them to sacrifice but gives the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations a pass."

"we ought to make some changes, and that will be beneficial to our country and to, I think, a more rationale set of priorities."
