If you think owning 1/3 of the political power, including the chamber in which spending measures must arise entitles you to <1%, it's no wonder you think this is a victory, and no wonder the Democrats have been winning since the 1930's without any serious contraction in spending or their agenda.
You think watching this disgusting spectacle go on and on and on for literally decades is hotheadedness? Really?! No such thing. It's the end of a very calm patience with one defeat after another just like this one. You really have no concept of how desperate our situation is here at all, do you?

And you have no idea how governments function, do you. You have no concept of the division of our gov’t into Senate, House, Prez and what you can do and can’t do to pass bills. You know, like the House can initiate a spending bill and pass it, the Senate must then pass their own version of the bill, it must be reconciled, and vetoed or not vetoed by the Prez. Now, unless you want a dictatorship and think you can pass something without going thru these steps, then you had better have a serious talk with our forefathers who set this method up. Get real.
