Rep. Adam Smith voted against the budget deal

Rep. Adam Smith voted against the budget deal, saying, it make “getting to a reasonable ten-year plan far more difficult by making permanent 90 percent of the Bush Tax Cuts. By not allowing those tax cuts to expire, and then making them permanent, we took $3.5 Trillion of revenue off the table. This will lead to one of two results, both of which I am strongly against. Either our debt will climb over 100 percent of GDP or we will have to make devastating cuts in vital programs like Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, education, transportation, and more.”

But will Smith support major cuts to military spending?   In the past Smith (no relation) was a strong supporter of the military.
