“…wanted to roll back portions of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law that tightened federal regulation on the financial sector”
Fuck that noise.

“The compromise will permit virtually the entire government to operate
normally through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year, with the exception
of the Department of Homeland Security.”
Well gee, who needs the DHS anyway?
Here’s a list of the agencies this dept runs:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Federal Emergency Management Agency
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Transportation Security Administration
U.S. Coast Guard
National Protection and Programs Directorate
U.S. Secret Service
Of course the GOP isn’t interested in fixing immigration…we know this but why gut FEMA? what do we do when the next disaster hits?
Do we shut down TSA at all our airports? ISIS would love that.
What does the GOP have against the Coast guard?
Should we shut down the Secret Service and let counterfeiters off the hook not to mention the protection that dept. afforeds senior government officials. Boehner has SS protection as 3 rd in line to the Presidency after all
It looks to me like the GOP is trying mighty hard to shoot themselves somewhere other than just in their foot this time.

“…The compromise…”
All Republicans are RINOs at heart. I guess the Tea Party really is a joke.
Go ahead, Republicans, and put Homeland Security on a leash. Then next year, when the temporary funding runs out and they try holding something else hostage to pay for it, we’ll ask every Republican running for president if hamstringing this agency is good for national security.

Derivatives killed the pension safety net so the GOP and WS want Dodd Frank weakened?
DC is getting analized on legal POT funding, an Australian company gets a free rein on 2400 hundred pristine acres of ‘copper’ in AZ.
If I were O’ Mon, I’d tell the Senate cut the crap out in committee or not sign it.

The HHS scam from the gop bags lets the Borders not be protected…and the Pension fund scam helps to defraud the working class…Perfect …Screw the cretins --let the little wankers shut the gov’t down again…
Call the worst of the worst…

The PBGC already pays pennies on the dollar to people who were promised pensions by their companies. How can they take more away from them? Oh. Because they have no voice. This is disgusting. Who in Congress would ever worry about taking an income cut? Those fuckers have no empathy at all.

Tea Potty Response: “Whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut’??? Boner and Mi-utch’ cooperated with the Democrat lieburrals’??? …uhhhhh…IN-PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEACH!”
I see! Screw the oldz’, the retirees, huh? Well…not as though they’re gonna be around long!
What a FUBAR mess.
Shorter version of one tidbit: “We’ll defund Homeland Security if Bamz’ doesn’t rescind his immigration order.” ___Oh…DO proceed gentlemen!
BTW: Is Boner of Orange going to use the Hastert Rule to pass this? If so…there might yet be an entertainment factor.
