House GOP pushes through historic spending cuts
http://www.washingtontimes.com/n…Flexing their new large majority in the House, Republicans early Saturday morning pushed through a bill that cuts more than $61 billion from last year’s spending levels, setting up a showdown with Senate Democrats, who have vowed to block it, and President Obama, who has said he’ll veto it.
The bill, which funds the government for the rest of fiscal 2011, marks the deepest dollar-amount discretionary spending cuts in history, and Republicans said it makes good on their campaign promise to return spending to pre-stimulus levels.

O'bummer can veto it all he wants, it makes him look stupid as fuck. The economy is in the shitter, and saving money is the way to go, not spending it insanely. Have fun next 2012 in this shit state of affairs there Mr. President.
