Haruna:

REASON TO GET OUT OF BED
 
Represenative Gabrielle Giffords offered a rare moment of unity when she showed up in the House to vote for the budget plan. "I had to be here for this vote. I could not take the chance that my absence could crash our economy," she said in a statement.
 
-- Washington Post
 
 
ROUNDTABLE

 
"This is a bad bill at a time when the economy -- and the American people -- needed a good one. It's a bill that does too little now, and too little later, and it comes in lieu of an obvious, achievable solution that would have done better."
 
-- Ezra Klein
Washington Post
 
"The bill, as you probably know, fulfilled the right-wing demand that absolutely not one penny of extra revenue be raised, and therefore contains significant defense cuts. In other words, the members of the conservative coalition looked around and decided to eat the defense hawks."
 
-- Jonathan Chait

FROM THE RIGHT

"The big picture is that the deal is a victory for the cause of smaller government, arguably the biggest since welfare reform in 1996."

-- Wall Street Journal
