The Senate worked hard yesterday.
They voted all day long, scrambling
to finish work on the budget so their
two week Easter vacation could begin.

Among their achievements were rejecting
a $14 billion cut in Medicaid and reducing
taxes on the wealthy by an additional
$34 billion — that’s fair and balanced.

The pace was so frantic some senators
admitted voting for amendments they meant
to oppose, others feared they strayed so
far a conference bill wouldn’t pass.

That would be a win-win. We could go a
year without priorities for Congress to avoid
or ignore, and we might prevent oil drilling
in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
