Keep in mind we haven't had a real GOP budget yet.

You aren't going to get a "GOP budget". You are going to get budgets that Reid and Obama will sign without guns to their heads, which means Dem budgets lite.

I say the House should have passed the Tea Party budget and left town until thousands of unpaid soldiers showed the Senate Dems and Obambi a better way forward.

You most certainly are. We've got a full budget process ahead...the GOP managed to get cuts here without even a budget process.

Here's what they're saying on DU:

"Actually, We started at $6b in the Senate and they at $31b... Looks like it settled north of $36b, so we gave them 110%"

LOL...there is not ONE positive comment on this deal over on DU. They are angry that ANYTHING got cut.

So what's your point? That's the current math in Washington DC. A socialist Dem is in the White House and a Democrat runs the Senate. The GOP controls only 1 of 2 Houses of Congress. We will not get 100% of what we want for the simple reason that Obama and Reid wont sign off on it.

The trick is asking for even more than what we want, and then 'cutting a deal' that gets the max of what we can get. Compromise and hardball.

Nice theory, but the media and Dems were ready to make sure the Govt 'crisis' would fall in the lap of the GOP, and showed an eagerness to have that happen. Boehner was smart not to givem them that ammo, smart too to get what he could and preserve his powder for another day. If we are going to have a shutdown, lets do it over something BIG, not small.
