As per the usual arrangement, on Sunday, Republicans reached a deal with Democrats to pass a $1.1 trillion spending bill that will avoid a government shutdown through September.

Here's what's in the bill. Funding for Planned Parenthood, Obamacare, the Iran deal, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Sanctuary Cities.

Here's what's not in the bill, funding for Trump's planned border wall.

Incredibly, the new omnibus even includes a measure to increase the influx of temporary

workers under H-2B visas through September.

But at least Republicans raised military spending, right?

That's the take from Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, who has a bad habit of pulling such

deals off with Democratic help.

In 2013, Ryan cut a deal with Senator Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington, to raise sequestration

caps, cut cost of living adjustment for veterans, increased taxes, and do so in exchange for

empty promises of future cuts. On this bill, Ryan Braggs, quote, we have boosted resources

for our defense needs without corresponding increases in non-defense spending. Of course, Republicans

run both houses of Congress this time, and President Trump is in the White House, but no matter, the dreaded government shutdown has been avoided for the time being. Even the defense increases, by the way, are about half of what Trump wanted. Republicans caved again. They were elected to overturn Obamacare. They haven't, and they won't. Even the supposed planned vote this week on Obamacare repeal, does not repeal Obamacare. They were elected to build Trump's border wall. They haven't. They're no immediate plans to do so. They were elected to fund Planned Parenthood. They haven't. As Bloomberg points out, quote, overall, the compromise resembles more of an Obama administration-era budget than a Trump one. The National Institutes of Health, for example, which he had $2 billion boost, reflecting the popularity of medical

research among lawmakers. The deal includes $990 million for famine aid, along with a $1.1 billion boost

for disaster recovery funds. More than 70 anti-environmental policy riders in the bill were

defeated. No wonder Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, quote, this agreement is a good

agreement for the American people and takes the threat of a government shutdown off the table. You know who else

like the deal? Nancy Pelosi. Trump is now preparing to push forward the new health care plan, which

doesn't repeal Obamacare. His aid say he's going to push for a massive infrastructure spending

plan sometime in the next two or three weeks. Barack Obama would be proud of the Republicans.

So if all that sounds depressing, just wait for the rest of the show. But actually, we'll be
