Tea Party, some Republicans unhappy with short-term spending vote

Tea Party, some Republicans unhappy with short-term spending vote Tube. Duration : 0.75 Mins.


CBS News is reporting that the House will vote today on another short-term spending bill that would keep the federal government operating for another three weeks -- while cutting billion along the way -- but some Tea Party Republicans are signaling they will no longer support Congress' short-term budget solutions. House Tea Party Caucus Chair Michele Bachmann released a statement today that she is voting against the measure, referred to as a Continuing Resolution (CR), because it does not repeal funding for President Obama's health care reforms. "We must defund ObamaCare now, and this CR makes no such attempt," she said.
