House approves budget deal aimed at averting shutdown
Washington (CNN) - A compromise federal budget plan that would remove the threat of a government shutdown for two years won easy approval Thursday from the Republican-controlled U.S. House.
The deal worked out by House Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan and Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray passed on a 332-94 vote and now goes to the Democratic-led Senate, which is expected to approve it as early as next week.

Speaker Boehner just discovered how good it feels to stand up with courage and integrity to Tea Party and conservative purist bullies in his party.
I is nice to see SOMETHING accomplished in the House that included the word "compromise." Even though the budget proposal does not tackle some of the major issues facing the congress at least it avoided the DRAMA we have been experiencing almost every 4 months. The next BIG step the raising the debt ceiling in 3 or 4 months.
can't imagine they made an offer that couldn't be refused!
