WASHINGTON – The Dems won a budget battle this week – and they're crowing about it. 

(FYI – as confusing as it may be, we're not referring in this story to Illinois' ongoing, ridiculous state budget battle, we're referring to the federal budget.)

As the Independent Journal Review reports about the federal stop gap budget plan: 

The budget deal, which funds the government for the next five months, includes the president’s increased spending for defense. But there were plenty of his priorities that Trump voters expected to see — and didn’t.

The Washington Post reported that these were some of the Trump budget priorities left unaddressed in the budget deal:

  • No reductions in funding for sanctuary cities.
  • No money for the border wall.
  • Planned Parenthood is fully funded by taxpayers.
  • Expansion of H2B visas for summer workers.
  • Obamacare is fully funded
  • No money to hire more border agents

The deal was done to avert a government shutdown but sets up a new deadline before October 1, when the government’s fiscal year begins.

There's plenty of budget aggravation to go around. At the federal level it appears the Democrats won this round, and at the state level, that goes without saying.
