But newly elected Virgina Gov. Bob McDonnell says its time to get a grip on spending: (excerpts from his Republican response to the State of the Union here)

The amount of this debt is on pace to double in five years, and triple in ten. The federal debt is already over $100,000 per household. This is simply unsustainable. The President’s partial freeze on discretionary spending is a laudable step, but a small one. The circumstances of our time demand that we reconsider and restore the proper, limited role of government at every level.
