As a fiscal conservative, this warms my heart. Though, mind, it is only the beginning; remember that it was the Republican congress, during the Bush years and right up until the Democratic takeover in 2006, that was just as irresponsible with the budget as anyone could ask for (at which point, of course, the Democrats continued their irresponsible ways). It remains to be seen whether this is truly an attempt to rein in the pork, and not simply the GOP looking to score points as the Party of No. Which, to be fair, has been paying dividends so far... unfortunately, I'm more concerned with the nation's long term success than any one political party's.
It is a nice touch, though, that it happened on that particular date. Doubtless a conspiracy is afoot....
