Country yokel Senators hold out for budget goodies

Budget deal still short of votes to pass Senate: Durbin
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Democrats are still short of the votes needed to pass a budget deal that would avoid a government shutdown in January and blunt automatic spending cuts, Senator Dick Durbin, the chamber's No. 2 Democrat, said on Sunday. "The struggle is still on in the United States Senate. We will need about eight Republicans to come our way. I feel we'll have a good strong showing from the Democratic side, but we need bipartisan support to pass it," Durbin, of Illinois, said on the CBS "Face the Nation" program.

When the Hoover Senators are in control, bribes work best. Try to keep the bribes under $20 billion, please.
