I don't get it. They're starting to sound like conservatives, or something. Someone wake me up...

The measure also would permit exploratory oil drilling in an Alaskan wilderness (search) area.

Ping!

Only in Washington is a reduction in the amount of increased spending considered to be a cut. Get rid of mandated welfare spending and do zero based budgeting yearly. Never happen because of the pork.

The bill, passed by a 52-47 vote, would make modest cuts to the health care programs for the elderly, poor and disabled...

This is fine, so long as we don't cut that bridge to NOWHERE in Alaska...

"The spending battle now heads to the House, where Republicans are divided over whether to cut more deeply across a broader range of social programs."

Take this victory, THEN come back for more!

Are these actual cuts (i.e., spending less in real dollars than the previous year) or just less than what had been originally planned (but still an increase in spending)?

Senate Passes Budget Bill Cutting $36B in Spending!!,

I guess the "Gang of 14" had other things on their minds today and missed this vote.

giving Republicans a symbolic victory against ever-rising government spending.



Gee, that's odd I could have sworn that Republicans were in power in all three branches?

and this is a "victory?"

Great.

The same bill probably has $50 billion in new spending buried in the fine print.

Is this a reduction in the projected growth spending due to take affect in 2032?
