The National Tragedy is over! Granted, we will be back in the exact same place in 3 weeks because these numbskulls couldn't work together if their life depended upon it... I still think they all should be prevented from standing in front of a TV camera until an actual budget is done.... CR's do more harm than good, and are nothing more than proof that Congress is broken.

I remember when we used to talk about things like having a balanced budget, now it seems almost impossible to have ANY budget.

It seems that the good Major has me blocked, so here is how I feel about compromise.
What, exactly, was the compromise. When you are dealing with the Democrat leadership, compromise and capitulation is one and the same. Boehner was great at both.

hahaha! "Senate breaks Dem filibuster"? Is it so hard for Fox News to give a more accurate headline like "Republicans negotiate and find compromise with Dems to end filibuster"?

LT Brad McInnis - And how was Dem filibuster get resolved? Compromise. Senate compromises to end Dem filibuster is a more powerful and positive headline.

MAJ James Woods - Oh, I see what you were getting at earlier. The problem is in the media, if it bleeds it leads... So, since they are all competing for ad dollars, hysterical headlines get more page views than the truth...
