Scammed again by corporatists in both parties.
No, it's not a win. Let's not forget what really happens as a result of this deal. And let's not forget how we got here.
Let's remember this critical point made by DUer, cui bono:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023864395
But what is in the bill being passed is a budget with sequestration. A bill with less spending than Ryan's budget.
And let's repeat a post by leveymg that also explains what is really going on here:http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3839411
67. It's because this lunacy is all a quite rational way to propel the Center-Right Austerity agenda.
That's precisely why I don't believe this BS about 40 Teahadis being responsible for the "crisis."
A partial shutdown suits the deficit hawks in both parties just fine, since it's been adjusted so it doesn't actually impact payrolls in the military and Intelligence agencies. This is simply austerity and cuts to social programs without anyone having to actually vote for it, and that's making the Center-Right smile.
Of course, they won't allow actual default of the debt - the "threat" of that just another psychological device to make this seem like a real crisis. It's not - it's simply austerity by default.
It has caused and will cause more pain to the 99 percent, and it never should have gone this far. The faux fiscal "crisis" should have been utterly rejected by a Democratic President TWO YEARS ago. Let's remember how we got started down this road of sequestrations and shutdowns in the first place. Republicans should have been slapped down hard then. Instead, the axe of sequestration was embraced by Democrats, and we got soaring speeches about eating our peas.
Now we have perpetual rule by crisis, repeated shock doctrine. Over and over again, options are deliberately narrowed until two shit sandwiches are placed before us, and we are taught to cry victory at receiving the slightly less shitty and painful option. Every outcome hurts the 99 percent and enriches the one percent a little bit more.http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023864395
But what is in the bill being passed is a budget with sequestration. A bill with less spending than Ryan's budget.
This is not a win, except for corporate thieves in both parties.
Every single deal, every single orchestrated crisis, every single shock doctrine scam moves us further into corporate slavery. We are being played by both corporate parties, over and over again.
= new reply since forum marked as read
and always from the same perpetually outraged sources.

No, the OP doesn't "stand"
It's false equivalency bullshit. The point made about the funding levels ignore that the higher Senate level is a budget passed by Senate Democrats.
This fiasco was all Republican.

being governed from the center-right or even further to the right notwithstanding all the data suggesting a further accumulation of wealth among a precious few, continued burgeoning income disparity, falling wages and standard of living, the 40 million or more needing food stamps alleviate food insecurity, a ludicrous minimum wage not even one-half of that of Australia's, continued high rates of unemployment, the prospects of cuts in social security and Medicare benefits, a continued egregiously bloated MIC budget with the likes of the F-35, and a drop in quality-of-life rankings factors to the bottom or near the bottom among all industrialized nations. 
capital gains and leaving der Mittens with little more total Federal tax liability, as a percent of his income, than is paid as a percent of total income on the earned income of the poorest among us. Or that as much as 85% of social security is still taxed at the taxpayer's highest marginal rate, thanks to WJC, joyously continued by junior, and, oops, also continued by bho, but surely his people don't realize that little gem. The abject regressiveness of the Federal income tax code has been only minutely reduced and is not the effective corporate income tax rate in the 7% range? Yet all together, let's cut social security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits before any of the aforementioned egregiously inequitable income tax issues are addressed. PS woo me with science: your grasp of all issues addressed in your OP is amazing to me.
Tennessean had supported Al Gore, Jr., but frankly did not realize in 2000 what a complete s*it-head Liebershit were and what a dumbfu*k holistically bad choice Liebershit had been.
But it's even worse than that because it repeals Obamacare and guts Medicare and Medicaid:
The middle class didn't get screwed by the Democrats because the Democrats passed their budget (the ACA takes up Medicare and Medicaid which is why it's "cut" under the Democratic plan).
So, no, we didn't get the Ryan budget. If anything most programs were exempted from the sequester (with the exception of WIC and LIHEAP; sadly). And defense / the MIC is losing out the most.
Boehner did not, in fact, get 98% of what he wanted. He got shit all in the sequester.

have some pity, PW. !
It seems like they folded like a deck of cards. 
"number of homeless New Yorkers in shelters has risen by more than 60 percent over the past decade"
I mean, if you're not willing to accept that this deal means you're a sucker, back out of this thread.
It's not working
.
This clearly a win for Dems. It's a CR and not a budget.
This whole fake drama stirred up by Tea Party loons has failed so wonderfully that it has changed the bath-water of American opinion in our favor. That was the Step 1 that has been needed for years.
Now that it's here, steps 2, 3 and etc. now have a chance of commencing.
We needed this. We won it in a unified way and today is a little better than yesterday.
