I just checked Rand Paul's website, since I view him and Kentucky as the Ur-ground of the Tea-Party-As-Full-of-Shit, and saw that his position is that he would likely oppose this compromise. I'd bet that most Tea Party electees say the same -- but I'm not going to check, as having to visit Rand Paul's site was punishment enough for any sins I may have committed.

Let's play a game:
The US 2010 base defence budget is $530 billion. I'm willing to cut 10% of this and save us $53 billion.
Your turn.
