Daily Caller:
The Trump administration and congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle struck a budget deal Monday, and House Democrats may not react well to some of its details.
House Democrats will find it hard to negotiate for policy changes using the deal, like pushing for federal funding of abortion as prohibited by the Hyde Amendment or clamping down on President Donald Trump using Pentagon funding for building a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Congressional leaders agreed to prevent such measures, known as “riders” or “poison pills,” as part of Monday’s deal. House Democrats may make things tough and argue that certain policy pushes are not poison pills, however, reported The Washington Post. They already passed abortion and wall funding provisions in this year’s party-line spending bills, reported Politico.

The deal is not done — the agreement still needs to pass the House and Senate. It looks like Democrats may not be the only ones who find things to pick apart in the deal, which suspends the debt limit until July 31, 2021. more here
Why do we even bother with a “Debt ceiling”?
In it’s entire history, has it ever actually limited the debt when that “ceiling” was approached or reached?
Why do we even have a budget(and taxes), if everything is to be free courtesy of the Government printing presses? Just vote to print 5 trillion or 10 trillion or whatever the leftists, illegals or the world at large wants or needs!
The nature of a budget is that nobody is really happy.
Let’s get a majority in both chambers, then we can actually get something done.
Oh, we had that last term? And W had it for three Congresses? Uhhh…
