No mention of the "structural problems" with the budget, whereby about $15 billion of costs were shifted to next year.

Agreed. All the "cost-shifting" is simply going to do is put off the day of reckoning as the Rats then will have to make even deeper cuts. That's on top of the budget cuts they already agreed to. If their constituents are seeing pain, they haven't seen it yet.
