Tea Party-Backed Lawmakers: Defense In Mix For Budget Cuts


Beau débat en vue chez les républicains! Pour le Tea party, même la Défense et la Sécurité nationale pourrait voir leur budget limité... Ouf! Divisions au sein du GOP?

Deux extraits et le lien pour l'article au complet:

" Back home, tea partiers clamoring for the debt-ridden government to slash spending say nothing should be off limits. Tea party-backed lawmakers echo that argument, and they're not exempting the military's multibillion-dollar budget in a time of war.

That demand is creating hard choices for the newest members of Congress, especially Republicans who owe their elections and solid House majority to the influential grass-roots movement. Cutting defense and canceling weapons could mean deep spending reductions and high marks from tea partiers as the nation wrestles with a $1.3 trillion deficit. Yet it also could jeopardize thousands of jobs when unemployment "

"he schism within the GOP is philosophical as well as generational. Paul's son, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, 48, a tea party favorite, says all spending should come under scrutiny, from food stamps to foreign aid to money for wars. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., 74, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, worries about the rise of protectionism and isolationism in the Republican Party.

For all the talk, one tea party group is willing to give lawmakers some leeway, provided that they adhere to the movement's values."
