They caved. The entire budget is a laughing stock. 2.3b/yr? It doesn't get any more pathetic than that.

Your response reinforces my original point - you want Republicans to vote for something they don't support.

Clue for you: that's not compromise
com·pro·mise
ˈkämprəˌmīz/Submit
noun
1.
an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.

Like a give and take kind of thing. I give on something that you want, and you give on something that I want. We both make concessions.

Compromise is where two parties work together to create something both sides agree with. Ryan and Murray both agree on this and come from two different sides, it is a compromise.

No, Ryan did not cave on this, you just think he caved because he isn't bat s**t crazy and trying to shut down the government like that moron Ted Cruz.
