Well the Republicans rolled over again.

What really makes this budget bad is that it only balances because the Dems have borrowed everything they could from the future. Next year they will be faced with borrowing at least 20 billion to balance the budget, and it won't be there. Hold on to your wallets folks, things are gonna get worse.

Well the Republicans rolled over again.

No they did not, only 4 out of 30 did. That means that 26 out of 30 Republicans did not cave.

You got it dead on. The only upside of this insanity is that we now have a gargantuan stick to hit Davis on the head with. How much do they actually have to borrow? $24 billion? Connell said just this week that the deficit would actually be $27 billion, based on current receipts.

The big question is, will the oh-so-nice and soft voiced Bill Simon be able to use that stick, or will he still be dancing Davis' tune trying to explain the lawsuit non-issue?
