FILE - In this Feb. 21, 2011 file photo, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour speaks in Des Moines, Iowa. Cut spending, no matter what. Don’t let the government borrow any more. Shut it down if you have to. The cast of potential White House contenders is telling Congress to be tough, cut spending and, if necessary, close the doors to federal agencies if the Republicans don’t secure enough concessions from Democrats. However dangerous such brinksmanship is for lawmakers, and the country, it offers White House hopefuls the opportunity to criticize Washington spending while portraying themselves as the commonsense alternatives.
