On the Democrat side of the aisle, you could almost hear the champagne corks popping, starting with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi:
Anyone taking a serious look at the funding agreement will see that Democrats secured concrete progress that will create jobs, improve health & advance economic security across America.

The communications director for Sen. Chuck Schumer had this to say:
I, for one, am tired of all the winning.
