Fed shutdown averted, but at what cost?

[luscious_purple]

According to the bit of news I heard after the "Merlin" season finale, the warring parties got together and made a deal that cuts $2B from the current FY budget and keeps the lights on through next week.

So where's that $2B gonna come from? Not filling job vacancies? Will some people be laid off (RIF'd, whatever you call it), some contracts broken? Inquiring minds want to know.

There's something fundamentally wrong with the politics in this action.
