THE YEAR OF THE FRESHMEN IN CONGRESS - TEA ANYONE

WHO SAYS YOU CANNOT CUT $100BILLION FROM BUDGET. THE PROPOSAL INTRODUCED SAYS "YOU CAN"


House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) on Friday evening introduced a revised 2011 government spending bill that the GOP said will cut at least $100 billion in spending this fiscal year, bowing to demands by Tea Party-backed House freshmen.

The continuing resolution funding the government after March 4 cuts deeply across all areas of domestic spending and singles out many programs for complete elimination.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) also dismissed it. (POOR SENATOR REID LOVES TO SPEND. BUGT HAS NO ARGUMENT TO BACK HIM UP)

“Although Democrats have repeatedly urged them to join us in responsibly cutting waste and excess, Republicans have taken a meat ax to the initiatives that invest in our economy and create jobs for the sake of appeasing their base," he said.

But first-term Republican conservatives claimed victory after forcing their own leadership to expand the measure after rejecting an earlier draft as too timid.

"$100 billion is $100 billion is $100 billion," said Rep. Tim Scott R-S.C., referring to amount the revised package would cut from President Barack Obama's budget request of a year ago.



The measure also asserts Republican priorities in several contentious areas.

It prohibits the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from terminating plans for a nuclear waste site at Yucca Mountain in Nevada _ a direct challenge to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

The Environmental Protection Agency would be banned from regulating greenhouse gases, linked to global warming, from fixed sources such as factories. The District of Columbia could not use federal funds to run a needle-exchange program for drug users.
