President Obama, GOP freshmen win in jet engine budget fight
Edited on Wed Feb-16-11 09:37 PM by Kaleva
"Determined to reduce deficits, impatient House Republican freshmen made common cause with President Barack Obama on Wednesday, scoring their biggest victory to date in a vote to cancel $450 million for an alternative engine for the Pentagon's next-generation warplane."

There are some, if not many, in Congress who view certain Defense programs as an employment agency in their respective district or state and will fight to keep funding military projects that the Pentagon doesn't even want. President Obama ought to use the votes of freshman Repubs in reducing or eliminating such spending.
