112th Congress: Everybody's Angry At Everybody

The old thread is getting long in the tooth. Where we're at right now is in an astonishing turn of events Democrats stared Republicans in the eye and didn't blink. Admittedly, they may have squinted some but government shut down has been averted. Thus making everyone simultaneously happy with themselves for solving the problem and angry at the other guys. A permanent bill is in the works for next week.
In other news rumors abound that ED 209 may be running for for Michigan's 13th congressional district.

Edit: Wait can things still break down? Isn't it too late?
You say things like this and it hurts me deep inside to know that it will never happen
Not that I've seen. But it's also late where it happened so they may be waiting for morning or even Monday.
democrats kept PP and the EPA, but it cannot have been just that, what did the republicans gain other than the 38.5?
For everyone else, like I said in the previous thread, the shutdown is the equivalent of Survivor's purple rock, it looks like. People will make shitty quickie solutions everybody hates in order to avoid the purple rock.
The DC media won. They got to cover a dramatic story, poor people get to suffer, and we get to do it all again with the debt ceiling!
I'm assuming the purple rock is bad?
You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life.
Which, and correct me if I'm wrong, is $38.5B cut from the 2010 budget levels, not from Obama's proposed budget. Compared to what Obama originally proposed, which entailed a $40B increase in spending, this budget entails $78.5B in cuts.
I'm pretty sure nobody in Congress at this point actually knows where those cuts are coming from. Let's just say we'll see huge cuts in military spending on mercenaries and from corn and oil subsidies.
Oh yeah, that doesn't fuck the poor over.

I don't know how accurate that is, but that was what I was hearing yesterday as to why they kept pushing for more cuts, because they wanted to get at that icky discretionary spending.

Are they going to vote with the speaker?
In any case I think cutting 10 billion out of medicaid is less destructive than 10 billion out of education, but we're talking eating our shit on a salad or on ice cream here.
Are these individuals capable of unassisted breathing?
It's probably just my glands acting up again.

Frustrating how much stock the dems put in Fox News' opinion of America
They're called "sane people."

You know, I bet those people would be singing a different tune if the shutdown didn't exclude fire and police.
Or maybe they would, because they're ideological mouthbreathers.

BUT NOT ONE FUCKING SECOND BEFORE ITS BORN
After that you can toss in a dumpster or whatever, who cares
Fire and police are local. These are 'the feds are doing too much' types. And of course they hate the idea of the military not being paid.
Didnt one of the republicans actually unironically write some republican solution to the poor and call it 'a modest proposal'?
I had a horribly wonderful talk with a small business owner yesterday, wherein he posited that Planned Parenthood was lying about only 3% of their services being abortions. Self-reporting being untrustworthy and all. I agreed that sometimes self-reported stats can be questionable. Then I asked him about that tax fraud he must be committing when falsely reporting his business' income/profit to the IRS. Things went downhill from there. Oddly enough, people aren't a big fan of having their own lazy arguing turned toward them.
Like, if the last 2 CRs had $30 billion and $31 billion in cuts each, respectively, would we now be at a total of $100 billion in cuts from last years budget?
Or is it more like "$39 billion if this bill was for the whole year, but less then that because it's not" or what?
