GOP Targets Spending, Debt - WSJ.com
Several Republican lawmakers Sunday pledged to pursue significant cuts in federal spending as soon as January, setting up an immediate clash with congressional Democrats and the Obama administration as both sides try to frame the federal budget next year...
Both Democrats and Republicans have said one of the primary reasons for the growing budget deficit are entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security, but both sides remain far apart on ways to cut costs in these areas...
"We're going to have at least three to four months [to show] that this is a cost-cutting Congress," Mr. Cantor said...
But he said it was as much Mr. Obama's responsibility as Congress's to make sure that the federal government meets its debt obligations.
