So...when do we eliminate tax loopholes, stop overseas shelters, stop Corporate Welfare and balance the budget at the expense of Republican Benefactors?

Ted Cruz lied at the debate last night. He said the latest budget deal would add $80 trillion to the debt. I believe he misspoke his lie and meant billion. On the contrary, the new budget President Obama passed drops deficits by $80 billion over ten years. http://www.cnbc.com/…/us-budget-deal-cuts-10-year-deficits-…

House Approves Budget, Providing ‘Clean’ Exit That John Boehner Sought

The House on Wednesday overwhelmingly adopted a crucial bipartisan budget accord that in one relatively tight 144-page bill stands to end five years of bitter clashes between Republicans and the Obama administration over fiscal policy, allowing Mr. Boehner to fulfill his metaphorical pledge.

The measure, which was approved by a vote of 266 to 167, with 79 Republicans joining 187 Democrats in favor, averts a potentially devastating default by lifting the federal borrowing limit through March 2017, and it sharply reduces the risk of a government shutdown by setting clear spending targets for the next two years.

It will be interesting because two of the main Pawns in Blackmail have been taken away from the republicans who really lack any kind of Policies that are good for the American People. I would like to say thank you to John Boehner for doing the right thing, the POPE would be proud.
