Government Shutdown Averted

its all smoke and mirrors to distract you from the main issue.

the plan all along was to make everyone concentrate on the looming government shut down... and then at the last minute pass something to prevent that horrible sounding shut down of the government.

and what they passed from news sources i have read - was a 2 billion dollar budget cut, with another 37 billion in cuts still in discussion.

so what does this mean?

When compared to the budget deficit - Congress cut about 0.15% in spending with that $2B pittance.

if you had a household budget of $45,000 a year... and you cut that annual budget by 0.15% - you would have to cut spending by a scant $8.12 per month

its a pitiful amount of money we are talking about and congress has done no real work
