Whew!

Well, how nice of the government officials to come to an agreement about the budget.  I see that they can actually work together, when it comes down to the pressure points.  Everyone is glad that an actual government shutdown was thwarted.  There were several who would have suffered loss of salaries, had that happened.  Although it has been extended, there still remains a risk that this thing is not finished and looms starkly over our heads.  Our esteemed President has now started his push to cut the budget even further.  Time will reveal how far this will go.
