Post game results: What did we lose, what did we win in the budget deal last night?

Make it simple for us who only have ten minutes or so to pop in. Who won, who lost. Who is MVP from the congressional budget fight.

1. We didn't win anything

We just repelled the first attack.

2. The politicians won. The people lost. As usual.

Both political parties are claiming victory. As usual.

5. Well, DU is unhappy, and the Teabaggers from various websites are unhappy.

Both sides claim the other caved, even though the only things you heard people talking about here yesterday were Planned Parenthood and the EPA, both of which did not end up being cut. Regardless, both sides are pissed, so it seems like a genuine compromise. Nobody's happy.
