Congress gave final approval Thursday to a $1.1 trillion spending bill that eases the sharp budget cuts known at the sequester and guarantees that the nation will not endure another government shutdown until at least Oct. 1.
After three years of politically bruising and economically damaging battles over the budget, the bipartisan agreement to fund federal agencies through the rest of the fiscal year passed with little fanfare.

GOP fighting for military pension cuts
What a great start to the campaign!
What a bunch of idiots.
>> Last night Mark Levin implied that Boehner is being blackmailed. “You connect the dots.”
Blackmailed or simply threatened?
What could Boehner have possibly done that warrants betrayal?
Destroying the GOP = Saving America. Long Live the Tea Party.
Boehner is whipped. Not blackmailed. The beltway GOP is terrified of the kenyan and his propagandists in the MSM.
We are heading to revolution ,I fear. These politicians have been corrupted by “contributions”. 43% are now parasites stealing from the labor of others. The president is violating the constitution and has become a dictator. Republicans are now sucking up to the communists. This country,in my opinion , will never survive, I see terrible conflict— very bloody —
I think you're right. This is right out of the book of Cloward/Piven. Spend the country into collapse in an effort to usher in another form of gubbamint.
Revolution will not happen though until Americans have nothing else to lose.
The writings of our founding fathers I've read, all this nonsense would have stopped long ago. This is insane. Uncle Sugar is totally out of control.
Well put sir and dead on. One thing is for sure, the end is now in sight.
Active Duty/Retiree ping.
Obama is financed by Boehner... who collaborates with him..
McConnell is just Senate wall paint..

That's the Chicago Way.
A trillion dollars?
LOL, why not just make it a megabazillion and be done with it.
“the bipartisan agreement to fund federal agencies”
The Fairfax Communists.
Chambliss and Coburn not voting? WTF? Voting present is spineless. Even you are going to lose...you vote NO you wimps. It gives our side some numerical power in the headlines.
God..what goobers.
Once again, the rino and liberal whachos unite to defeat conservatives and I am told by so many that conservatives must take back the rino party. I think that will never happen. I believe there must be a new conservative party set up and run only by conservatives and only for conservatives as this is the only logical solution left and should have been done over a decade ago.
Its a third party now or its business as usual in DC with liberals and rinos only.
“Last night Mark Levin implied that Boehner is being blackmailed.”
It seems that everyone has forgotten the alleged access to
FBI files that was enjoyed by the Clintons: carried over into the Obama administration?
IMHO
