Why in the world would you think the House would get 100% of what they wanted? Purist thinking will never work.

$80 B out of $ 100 cuts on what was a DEM budget is pretty darn good IMO.

The Dems didn’t have a budget, they punted to the Republicans. This IS a Republican budget, the biggest spending budget ever passed by any Congress.

Its a damn good start.

That is an $80 B cut ONLY using Democrat math. I.e. it is an $80 billion cut from PROPOSED spending. It actually only cut less than half that.

Less than half, and justification using Democrat math is “As good as we could get”?

Let's start playing in the real world. I am not going to go after my own team. They have made good progress--we live on to continue the fight. Just a few minutes ago, FOX reported more progress that was made that had not been reported before. We are not going to get all we want right off the bat.

Let's get real folks, the RATS still control the Senate and Obama has the WH.

We are going in the right direction and I am grateful for that.

Boner is in the Rove wing of the Whig Party. I fully expect them to trot out Jeb Bush for the next election.

Exactly.

Amazing cuts when faced with obama and the democratically controlled senate.

More to follow, as the rats folded much, much more than the republicans did.
