"I believe that there's further unnecessary spending in government that we can eliminate," says President Obama. "We can't simply cut our way to prosperity."
Compromise in Congress. A deal to pull the country back from the fiscal cliff isn't sitting well with everyone. The House passed the Senate bill around 10pm last night. Many Republicans say there's a lack of spending cuts.
"There's a lot not to like about the bill, it doesn't have spending cuts, it doesn't show any kind of fiscal restraint, it continues to give some of these special interest tax breaks that we've said need to be off the books," says Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN 7th District).
Marsha Blackburn wasn't the only Tennessee lawmaker to vote against last night's bill. Congressmen Jim Cooper (D-TN 5th District), Diane Black (R-TN 6th District) and Scott Desjarlais (R-TN 4th District) voted no. Tennessee Senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Bob Corker (R-TN) passed the bill.

Texas arrest of suspect in Nashville homicide
May 21, 2013 18:36 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Police in Nashville say Texas state troopers and deputy U.S. marshals have arrested a homicide suspect in Lyford, Texas.
Eric Lozano, who is 31 years old and from Lyford, was arrested Monday night in the killing of Mitchel T. Moreno in a Nashville motel room. Moreno was 52 and was from the Denmark community in Madison County, Tenn.
Police said Lozano is a long haul truck driver.
A maintenance worker at the Cumberland Inn found Moreno dead on May 9. He died of an apparent beating.
If Lozano waives extradition, he will be returned to Nashville to face a criminal homicide charge.
