The only people that Senator Patty Murray and Rep Paul Ryan rode to the rescue of, was crony Corporations, financial speculators and banksters.
A few thousand people will benefit from the budget deal.
Over 300 million Americans will be worse off.

The real cost of the Afgan & Iraq wars is over $5tn and still rising. Not the $1.5tn quoted - that's just the official costs from the Pentagon and all sorts of costs have been hidden elsewhere.

Military spending is currently $1.2tn a year, not the $652bn quoted.
All sorts of military spending has been hidden in other budgets.

The Pentagon could find the sequester cuts out of petty cash.
Pentagon waste is far more than this.
Lots of examples of Pentagon waste are detailed in here.
Over $500bn of annual Pentagon waste.
