Capitulation As Compromise

The so-called budget deal yesterday is being touted by Republican leaders as a success.  It is anything but.  If you look at Mr. Ramirez's now famous pie chart, you can see how ridiculous the assertion becomes.  One must look at the amount cut as a percent of the whole.  NPR, still funded. Planned Parenthood, still funded, Obamacare, still funded.  Still 1.65 Trillion in deficit spending.  To consider this deal anything other than capitulation is just delusional.
