Budget deal reached, government shutdown averted

Congressional sources told National Journal that the outline of the spending deal includes up to $39 billion in cuts from the 2010 budget, $514 billion for the defense budget covering the remainder of this fiscal year, a GOP agreement to abandon policy riders dealing with Planned Parenthood and the Environmental Protection Agency, and an agreement to pass legislation Friday night to keep the government running while the deal is written in bill form.

GT sez:

THIS WHOLE BUDGET STANDOFF WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A POLITICAL PENIS MEASURING CONTEST, AND BOTH PARTIES CAME UP SHORT.
