The Daily Quote

“Even before House Republicans took control of the chamber Wednesday, there were at least three areas where they appear to be backtracking on promises made: Cutting $100 billion in the first year, allowing opportunities for the minority party to offer amendments on bills, and making public attendance records for committee hearings. The Republicans ran for office in 2010 on a platform they titled ‘The Pledge to America,’ which states they would reduce government spending to 2008 ‘pre-stimulus, pre-bailout levels’ and cut ‘at least $100 billion in the first year alone.’ House GOP aides are now backing off that $100 billion figure.”
