Deal-making and compromise is vital if government is to function. - 1pg

Another CR. Ho Hum. Hardly an earth shattering accomplishment on McCarty's part. Kick the can down the road. The status quo has been retained. There was an alternative that the Freedom Caucus crafted, 8% cut across the board except for Defense, Homeland Security, and Veteran programs.

But no, the republicans, who often pound their chests for fiscal responsibility, would have nothing to do with it. The word "cut" shall not be allowed and government can only grow, all parts of it, all departments, all programs, all of them.
