Late last evening, Congress passed a budget deal that narrowly averted a government shutdown. After weeks of back-and-forth between the two sides and weeks of "stop-gap" measures, the United States has a budget for the next few months.
President Obama praised the budget as "common sense." Harry Reid slammed the cuts as archaic and draconian. Many Tea Party members are upset that the cuts weren't bigger, while others believe that, while the cuts are small, the 2012 budget is much more important. Yet there is one thing for certain: people on both sides of Congress are angry at the other.
But it does not matter for our poll what elected officials believe. What do you believe? Was this budget a smashing success or a crushing failure? Was it neither or somehow both? Vote below:

Too many choices on this poll...KISS.
ReplyDeleteI would have liked more, but $39 billion plus the $12 billion already cut is definitely something to be happy about.
