This deal is a disgrace. 20 – 24 Bn USD per year is “saved” when the shutdown of the US Govt cost 24 Bn USD ALONE.

“US congress agrees budget deal reducing risk of government shutdown”

Shouldn't they “agree a budget deal that stops government shutdown” ???

Jeez, their government is so tribal it's a wonder that they can agree on ANYTHING.

Most of them can't see passed their own hatred
