Round 2: shut the sucka down!
No one won because we the tax payers are still footing the bill and they are still over spending.

What they did was like cutting 2 cents from a $100K bill. When they can cut spending by 50% then I will take notice. Until then it's all BS.

The Repugnantcans won in 2012? Are you talking to us from the future or something?

How is keeping us more in debt a win? Whichever party can cut the MOST wins, not the LEAST. Why can't both sides get competitive about spending cuts?

If the Right would stop playing the "defund Planned Parenthood" games maybe real progress could be made. But the Republicans are self righteous snakes in the grass.

Better than adding 10 cents. At least it's heading in the right direction now.

No, but I was going to let you know that your crystal ball had a big crack in it because President Barack Obama will be in the White House until Jan 19, 2017

Are you sure it is from last years budget and not just $39 B off of the larger proposed budget?

Ryan's is a fantasy and we would still be spending trillions more than we are today.
