The Senate narrowly passed a $40 billion budget-cutting bill today, with Vice President Cheney casting the deciding vote after the chamber split 50-50 on the measure.
Taking his seat as president of the Senate after cutting short a trip to the Middle East, Cheney announced he was voting for the legislation, making the final tally 51-50 in favor of passage.

Our Vice President saved the day!
This is a tiny cut in the budget, a mere drop in the ocean so to speak, but it has the Surrendercrats on the run and it shows the nation that Republicans are in charge, are taking care of things and will save us a lot more money in the near future.
I guess the Surrendercrats are going to have to scurry around and see what kind of dirt they can drag up in order to cover this up.
