Don't bet on it! They may cut back over 3 trillion in spending now, but don't be surprised if new spending exceeding that amount is created in the future resulting in a net increase in spending over the cutback period!

BTW, for those who say vote them all out of office, well that's exactly what the tea partiers did last November in the majority of cases. And now it's still being advocated that those they voted in also be voted out next time, even though they are doing exactly what was expected of them by the citizens that voted them in. What sense does that make?

If your representative, senator or president makes every reasonable and apparant attempt to do what you voted them in to do, then reward them when their re-election comes up. But if they don't, then kick their sorry butts out to the street!
