Like many Republicans, Price did not agree with the compromise.
Conservative Rep. Tom Price (R-District 6) voted against the last-minute fiscal cliff deal passed by Congress over New Year's, according to govtrack.us. A real solution includes both revenue increases and spending reductions," Price recently said on CNN's "State of the Union." Price isn't the only member of Congress - especially among the GOP - to believe the compromise was ill-fitted to the need and will only lead to more hard decisions soon. The deal raises taxes on individual incomes over $400,000 and over $450,00 for household incomes and a portion of estates more than $5 million. The compromise is said to allow Congress to have more time to work on government spending.

Sen. Johnny Isakson of East Cobb votes yes, while Chambliss votes no.
Without the mandate of a balanced budget amendment, U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey said he could not go along with a federal debt ceiling agreement that passed the House of Representatives Monday night. On Tuesday afternoon, the Senate also passed the plan 74-26, with Georgia Republican Senator and East Cobb resident Johnny Isakson votingwith the majority. Saxby Chambliss was one of 11 GOP senators to vote no. The agreement barely beats a deadline under which the U.S. government would have defaulted for the first time in history, but members of Congress on both sides of the vote, from both parties and both chambers all agreed it is far from ideal. Gingrey, a Marietta Republican, was in the minority as the House voted 269-161 in favor a measure…

Rep. Price needs to understand that his job is to represent his entire district - and that he was sent to Washington to assist all of the nation - and sometimes that means letting ideology take a back seat to common sense and the better good.
