Congressional leaders have reached a breakthrough tentative budget deal with the White House that would set government funding levels for the next two years and extend the nation's debt limit through 2017, avoiding routine talks of a government shutdown.
The 144-page bipartisan funding bill, labeled a 'discussion draft,' was posted online just before midnight setting up a potential vote in the House as early as Wednesday.
If approved, the agreement would be a milestone after years of gridlock and annual threats of government shutdowns......

Deeper in the hole our nation will go with larger debt payments to the 'financial services industry'.
A lot of rank and file Republicans will get to 'show vote' (as Ted Cruz put it the other week) against this sham since Democrats will support it.
THE LITMUS TESTS WERE EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN ONLY FIVE HOUSE MEMBERS OPPOSED BOEHNER FOR SPEAKER AND ON THURSDAY WHEN THEY VOTE ON PAUL RYAN.
Whoever votes no in those two cases has credibility as a 'real conservative' in the House. The rest of the votes like the budget one this week will give cover to the fakers.
What is it with Boehner?
What are they blackmailing him with, or paying him off with?
Trillions not just down the drain on his watch, but funding destructive activities to boot. Worse than just wasting it, is giving it to left to spend.
To quote Bill Clinton, “the days of big government are over”.
Not because of Bill but because in the end big government and most all of their employees will be among the first to go down if we go belly up.
The credit rating of the US would be bad if we don’t go deeper into debt is the sword held over our head.
Banks (”financial services”) run this country and that was flatly proven when George W. Bush and the Democrats and Republicans in Congress bailed them out with TARP in 2008.
We need to owe more money like credit card customers do to their banks and the European countries do to their banks.
When we owe more money the loan payment amounts go up and that is the official policy of the Uniparty of Republicans and Democrats in Washington.
Repubs had the congress and the presidency in the early 2000s and we racked up tons of debt.
It took me 15 years to realize it’s just one big party in Washington, literally and figuratively,
Milestone?? More like a gravestone...
>> and extend the nation’s debt limit
As to continue pissing on the Country’s young ones.
The only way to stop this short of a revolution is to clean house, vote all these bastards out of office and pull their pensions, perks and health benefits. We need a new political party - the Anti-incumbent party.

It’s obviously not just Boehner.
Bipartisan Comprehensive Spending Debt
We are so screwed. BOHICA
“The only way to stop this short of a revolution is to clean house, vote all these bastards out of office and pull their pensions, perks and health benefits. We need a new political party - the Anti-incumbent party.”
Good luck. With the precedent set that the sitting president
can use the power of the federal government against his
political opponents and wetbacks being allowed to vote, all
this added to the outright fraud that the left has been
committing for years, there is very little chance of getting
anything but Marxists in office. The hispandecos are going to be the deciding factor in this election and they are
going to vote for the candidate that most reflects a
Mexican candidate. Hillary.
Look closely, folks. This is what showing up to vote has gotten us. A grand total of maybe 10 conservatives who will stand up and be counted in both the house and the senate. We would have gotten more or less the same result if nasty nancy and the rats were in charge.
All of those dollars spent campaigning, all of those hours spent in elections and voting and what did we get in return? Bupkus.
Voting is counterproductive and immoral.
Voting ain’t going to fix crap and another political thief would only add more thieves in the arena
Our government is too broke and these guys are worst then King George.
It is time to man up like our Fore Fathers and put OUR sacred honor and fortunes on the line.
Can I go back to watching TMZ now?
Our feckless Congress, kicking another can down the road to our children.
Maybe Twitch McConnell will cover this fresh BS in his new book.
You’re fired
