The devil is in the details - some insight into what happened last nite

From Sam Stein: the bill denies funding President Barack Obama had sought for additional Internal Revenue Service agents, guarantees an up-or-down Senate vote on stripping federal subsidies from Planned Parenthood and outlaws the use of federal money for abortion services in the District of Columbia.

The biggest gains that Boehner made in the continuing resolution's language, however, may be in combating the two major pieces of legislation passed by the president during his first two years in office. According to the fact sheet, the CR requires mandatory audits of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau created under the Dodd-Frank financial-regulatory law. The audits will be conducted both by members of the private sector and by the Government Accountability Office “to monitor its impact on the economy, including its impact on jobs, by examining whether sound cost-benefit analyses are being used with rulemakings,” Boehner's staff wrote.

The budget bill also ensures that the Senate will vote on repealing Obama's signature health care law. That vote won't pass. More troublesome for the White House, however, may be the deal's mandated "numerous studies that will force the Obama Administration to reveal the true impact of the law’s mandates, including a study of how individuals and families will see increased premiums as a result of certain Obamacare mandates; a full audit of all the waivers that the Obama Administration has given to firms and organizations -- including unions -- who can't meet the new annual coverage limits; a full audit of what's happening with the comparative effectiveness research funding that was in Obamacare and the president’s failed 'stimulus' spending bill; and a report on all of the contractors who have been hired to implement the law and the costs to taxpayers of such contracts."

From Huffpo:
One in the final deal would ban the use of federal or local government funds to pay for abortions in the District of Columbia. A program dear to Boehner that lets District of Columbia students use federally funded vouchers to attend private schools also survived.

Keep in mind this was only a temporary bill to avoid a shutdown. What else will be given away during the next fight???
