Hot Air has a breakdown of the cuts in the CR. Very short version? Conservatives have a valid beef: we could have gotten more, although there was a limit at this point to how much could have been hacked out of available funds.
But if you’re a liberal you should be livid at what we got in exchange for letting 330 million in Planned Parenthood funding stand*.

I’m worried about the breaking of the 72-hour rule, but other than that, I am happy with what we got.
Small potatoes indeed. We have a $3.8 trillion budget, bloated with hundreds of billions in wasteful add-ons put in by Pelosi and Reid and Obama, ready to explode further when Obamacare adds more hundreds of billions in full swing, and we could only get about $16 billion of it taken out?
This is like removing one gin-soaked olive from one martini for an alcoholic who is on a dozen-martinis-a-night bender.
