The American Prospect has a nice summary of the modern GOP's agenda:

agenda. Today, they're asking newborns and low-income women to pitch in:
The House is expected to vote on a proposal to cut the Women, Infants
and Children program, which helps about 9 million mothers and their
young children, by 13 percent. The Center for Budget and Policy
Priorities estimates that up to 350,000 food-assistance recipients would
be cut off if the measure passes. At the same time, the House is also
debating a bill to increase the Pentagon?s budget by $17 billion -- even
though Defense already makes up more than 50 percent of discretionary
federal spending. Hey, maybe they?ll make their sacrifice next year.
