Who won the budget deal?

So what do you think?
 
The President kicked butt.

All those kids from Colorado (critical swing state) will be able to visit the Washington monument. God bless!
 
Republicans look OK. Obama comes out OK. The democrats look just plain stupid. Lining up to the mic with their moronic scare tactics and claims that republicans are really just interested in killing women and eating babies. What a complete and total group of clowns. It is no wonder Pelosi got her ass handed to her in the house. Of course...if the democrat controlled house, senate and White House had actually done their job WHEN it was their job this whole thing would have never come up. The whole lot of them...the only thing missing is the little clown car they ride around in.

Not sure who won. But I do think that the debate regarding federal spending may have changed for at least the next two years. We started with no budget for 2011, keeping spending in place. By the end of the debate neither side takes the position that spending can stay the same.

This will have a profound impact on the 2012 that the president submitted recently which called for additional spending for "investments".

I think you will find a large number of democrats have been turned off by the large and continuing budget deficits. Think about this for a second. The federal debt is about 14,5 trillion. At a normalized interest rate of 5% for 10 year treasuries that means that we spend forever 700 billion a year largely to foreign governments. The think about universal health care. That woudl cost something like a trillion over 10 years and everyone says we can't afford it. Yet this amount to about 1 and 1/2 years interest payments because we did not have the political courage to balance what we felt we should spend as a nation and the revenues needed to pay for it.
 
I agree. Republican house and Obama come out looking good. Though dangerously close for the former.
 
I can say it seems the unborn have definitely lost.
 
You know.

We're talking about the running of the country.

The thing we send politicians like these to our respective capitals to do, their mother ****ing jobs.

Im not interested in anyone winning anything, simply doing what they were suppose to be doing all along.
 
The Winners
America, The Tea Party, Republicans, Conservatives, John Boehner, The Founders

.......one of the largest spending cuts in history........God Bless America......


The Losers
The Kenyan Tyrant, Nazi Pelosi,Harry The Body Odor Reid, The Democrat Party, anyone who opposed cutting Cowboy Poetry Contests.

The Kenyan Tyrant makes me think of Conan the Barbarian. It's a silly term.
 
In terms of politics, Obama and Boehner both come out looking pretty good, I'd say.
In terms of policy...well, I'm a liberal Democrat and I'm pleased with this deal. I'd say that we got the better end of the agreement in terms of its actual content.

Obama shouldn't be taking any credit at all when we all know, if it were up to him, there'd been no cuts at all. The deal's ok, but the cuts should have been deeper. Maybe in the 2012 budget.
 
How many riders on this bill? Zero? Oo. No PP. No EPA. oO.

........saying Obama somehow looks good coming out of this........is to ignore reality.

If Obama had an ounce of integrity, he'd give credit where it's due. It makes me laugh when he talks about fiscal responsibility. It's so obvious he doesn't believe it.
 
Sounds a little hollow to me.

Face it, Chap, the Dems have been crying all week about being forced to make cuts by the GOP.

The Most Expensive President in History is already taking credit..............

'Historic' deal to avoid government shutdown - Yahoo! News

WASHINGTON – Perilously close to a government shutdown, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders reached a historic agreement late Friday night to cut about $38 billion in spending and avert the first federal closure in 15 years.

Obama hailed the deal as "the biggest annual spending cut in history." House Speaker John Boehner said that over the next decade it would cut government spending by $500 billion — and won an ovation from his rank and file, tea party adherents among them.

Im betting the very same people who think it was BJ Clinton that balanced the budget.........will be first in line for the DNC Koolaid.

Your koolaid is over by the Paul Ryan table. Drink up!

So his submitting a budget that cut spending was just my imagination? And he is not going to sign the law? He did not use his influence to push the two sides to come to an agreement?

The winner is not congress, but the country. Politicians actually worked together and came up with a plan both sides not just can agree on, but mostly like. I think most liberals and most conservatives are pleased with the actual bill. That's a win for us.

This from the guy who believes everything Obama does (or wrongfully takes credit for) is some golden nugget of wisdom. LOL
