Related: About this forumTYT: Guess Who Won The Budget Deal, Not You.
"A compromise federal budget plan that would remove the threat of a government shutdown for two years won easy approval Thursday from the Republican-controlled U.S. House.
The deal worked out by House Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan and Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray passed on a 332-94 vote and now goes to the Democratic-led Senate, which is expected to approve it next week in a very close vote.
It represented rare convergence between the two parties on government spending after two years of bitter debate and political brinksmanship that included the 16-day shutdown in October."

Austerity Doesn't Work (for the 99%).
It Only Works (Temporarily) for the 1%.
It's an 'error' in a 'spreadsheet'
