This is such a bamboozle. Are we serious? Boohooner Got NOTHING!!!!! We burn 30 billion in the deficit in 3 damned days!! What planet are freepers living on? Wake the heck up!!!
That's big because both the Senate and WH are in Dem hands.
It's a sign that things are changing. You wanted the major cuts this year. Impossible.
This is a small step which leading to a much larger step and bill...the trillions of cuts in the Ryan bill.
This budget battle over spending for the balance of the fiscal year was small potatoes compared to what is to come. Whether he got 30 billion or 60 billion does not mean much relative to the entire 1.6 trillion deficit.The last thing one wants is to use all your ammunition by shutting down the government in the small battle leading up to the big one. What the Republicans wanted was momentum coming into the big fight coming up for trillions in cuts for the next 10 years.I think they achieved that objective, have not expended all their ammunition and a government shutdown will be much more warranted in the big fight where everything will be at stake than this little skirmish.
