Cutting deals

Today reuters released an article about the most recent government shutdown.  Congress passed a new temporary spending deal that is expected to push the US budget deficits $1 trillion annually.  Not only were Republicans and Democrats at one another throats during the voting this morning, but Trump has already taken to social media to emphasize that the reason for it was because of the lack of "more Republicans in Congress..."  Although Republicans seems happy with the $165 billion in military boost the deal allows over the next two years, many others are upset with the $131 billion going to non-military related spending. 

Overall, I found this article both humorous and informative.  It makes clear the lee way that political parties must make to operate a functioning government, and it also makes evident that both Democrats and Republicans are getting torn further and further against one another.  I found the quote that one Republican said towards the Democrats that were still waiting to vote honestly funny.
