The White House declared victory Wednesday over congressional Republicans in the budget negotiations that concluded lateTuesday night, saying Democrats beat back the GOP across the board.

“Yep. Paul Ryan should resign from Congress and take the Turtle with him.”

You mean the the Boy Budget Prodigy? When it comes down to it, he’s got no game.

I sure am glad so many of us donated time and money to elect GOP majorities in the House and Senate!

Very true. The White House can’t claim budget battle victories for the Dems without thanking their willing foot soldiers in the GOP.

Oh, waitaminute. Yes, they can.

I hate to say it but the only person who could disrupt the ‘Iron Triangle’ is Donald Trump.
The rest is merely status quo.

I am totally confused. What happened when just a short time ago they were talking about a budget that passed (or at least I thought it did) That budget was supposedly for 2 yrs. and had no ceiling on the spending. Was I dreaming?

So—How is this new Speaker any better than the old Speaker?

Posted it then, repeating it now: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

They deserve to have this rubbed in by the White House. They’re pathetic.

Increase funding and spending?

We have stupid leadership in both houses and the White House. They're literally defecating on our declining looted country.

The key to wnning the budget battle is to have control of both houses of congress and the white house. Otherwise you have a train wreck and the GOP loses the optics.

Republicans did vote big league, with historic wins in 2014. Big celebrations and parties in DC. Even here I was told how wonderful this was. Spit*

Americans once again got conned and hoodwinked. There might be much better solutions to deal with the corrupt.
