Sure, everyone’s all happy now, but Republicans are already threatening to shut the government down again in 90 days. Gee, they cost us at least $24 billion with this last shutdown, so the next time a conservative fear mongers about the debt while ignoring the fact that economists all say austerity is the wrong way to go right now, tell them they owe us $24 billion.
Joe Biden’s grin says: The government is a BFD. It helps a lot of people. It does a lot of good. It is obviously far from perfect, but it’s definitely better than having no government.
