Where will the cuts come from? Republicans ran on an agenda of cutting $100 billion in a single year from government spending but never said where the cuts would come from, all the while promising to cut taxes for the rich as well. With 40% of the budget going to Medicare and Social Security, something they said they wouldn't touch in addition to defense, the cuts are going to have to come from 15% of the budget affecting national parks, the FBI and other programs. But they still won't say exactly what's on the line, largely because it was all a campaign gimmick and there isn't much to cut that won't outrage even conservatives. Meanwhile, the Tea Party is demanding power, with Michele Bachmann vying for committee post as the Tea Party queen. Can they hold it together for long? We'll get into it.
