The Good, but Mostly Bad, in Congress’ Big Budget Deal

As if Americans need one more reminder of the dysfunction in congress, last night Congressional leaders announced a 2,000 page omnibus budget, demonstrating again their inability to pass a budget through normal procedure.

Pfizer Deal Strengthens Case for Executive Order Requiring Transparency in Political Spending
