Pawlenty applauds Boehner for demanding trillions in cuts
Likely GOP presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty on Tuesday applauded House Speaker John Boehner for demanding trillions of dollars in spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty proposed a series of deep cuts to local governments and health and welfare programs on Monday to fill a $1.2 billion state budget deficit and pay for tax cuts he says will create jobs.
