"Republicans, who take back control of the House on Jan. 5, have pledged to end earmarks and cut deficits and government spending. Senate Republicans rejected a one-year, continuing resolution, passed by the House. Last week, they also rejected a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill, worked out by Sen. Daniel Inouye (D) of Hawaii, the Appropriations Committee chair, and Senate majority leader Harry Reid."
